Sorry, may I just add........

In the case of both the ACB10 and the 32's I can, from personal 
experience, also add that their wet weather performance drops off much 
faster as they wear than for the more conventionally treaded tyres e.g. 
CR500's / Yoko539's which do a better job of retaining their wet grip.  A 
set on ACB10's close to their wear markers will be a real handful on a wet 
road / track. 

FWIW I did a wet race on a set of *new* ACB10's and thought I was doing OK 
until I was passed in qualifying by a guy using FF Zetec full wets, he 
went past me like I was standing still (out of a corner) and was able to 
brake much harder.

I bought some Zetec wets the next week :-) They are too disimilar to 
CR500's
