Bridgestone are putting a white line on the extreme wets so that we can differentiate them from the normal wets or intermediates as we used to call them.
Forza Ferrari!!

Bridgestone Motorsport can confirm that for the 2008 FIA Formula One World Championship season their extreme wet weather tyre will be marked with a white line in the bottom of the central groove. This is in addition to marking the softer of the two dry tyre compounds at each race.
The white tyre marking, which will be present from the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne onwards, has been introduced at the request of the teams and in consultation with the FIA to make Bridgestone's extreme wet weather tyres visibly distinguishable from the wet weather tyres when used on the track in the wet.

Could be a lot more fun in the wet if they painted the whole tire white and left the groove black!
