Testing in rainy day of the Continental Grand Prix 4000s tires by ProBikeKit

We had tested it in a route of 15 km in a rainy day, it was great to test his adherence. As you can see in the images, the central part is smooth, and has a side part with more grip, this part has a "dolphin fin" and is perfect to ensure good adhesion to the road on rainy days or slippery terrain.

During our test we shoot for always wet asphalt, sidewalks and puddles, even a mud puddle, in all cases, the adherence was perfect.
