[QUOTE="jesejoe, post: 182547, member: 4369"] I'm running Dragon with size 225/45 R17 on 1995 325i and when it is brand new the wet traction is good. Gives a lot of confidence when i travelling around 130-140kph. Now i think the wear is above 40% and it start to hydroplate when i reach approx 110kph when it is raining heavily. And the noise level begins to irritate me now too. The dry performance is good and no complain so far. When i complain to the tyre shop he mentioned to me i'm not the only one that complain. As i'm using 17x8inch rim, this is normal according to him to hydroplate ! I wish he would told me before the purchase :( Therefore i will for sure look for another brand of tyre when it is time to change ... so that i can have confidence driving during heavy downpour ...
