New Hoosier wet line...
Anyone know anything more? I see nothing else on their site...

Called Hoosier and disccussed new compound with them. They say better than old Wets for wet but still not suitable for intermediate conditions. Said for intermediate (wet/dry, occasional drizzle ) A6 hand grooved by purchaser is their best offerring. Had hoped they would be suitable for intermediate conditions...
The Wets are awesome in the wet , but rubber disappears quickly if it starts drying on you.

I just ran the H2O's yesterday for the Enduro & Qualy at Mid Ohio. They were really amazing. Qualy was drying conditions and even with a semi dry line they did not blister despite getting fairly hot. During the Enduro they handled amazingly but it was wet the entire time.
