Well most of the time there isn't any visibility. When it rains, its not problem that it is dangerous and drivers are scared to drive because it is slippery, but that visibility is 0, just look at onboards.

The lack of visibility comes from how well the extreme wets disperse water. So it's like a catch 22 either make worse tires for better visibility or better ties but drivers behind can't see.

that can't be true. it if were they could just go back to the old wet tire designs where it wasn't a problem.

I think it's more to do with the extreme aero on modern cars.

I'm no professional, but I've been watching F1 for most of my life and the water dispersion is definitely more than it was in the past.
