LOL I have to disagree with you here after having experience with pull offs. It all depends. That's why you inspect the tire before buying it. Mine have always handled good in the rain and under heavy loads in the mountains. The only way to get tires hot like you would on the track, is to go run them on the track. I highly doubt he is going to the track right now anyways. People always amaze me when it comes to this. I ride mine everyday no matter what the weather and never have any issues.
