You are now hearing this
noise in your head.



I had the volume down. Are they on caution until the rain stops? Are Continental's tires that awful?

Not allowed to have nice things
Visibility at speed was essentially 0, whether you were behind another car or not. So yeah, they're waiting for it to lighten up a bit.

Also, yes, the tires have been absolutely atrocious.

I have no clue why it's all Darth Vader themed but I guarantee it will garner at least one Racer and one Jalopnik article.
