I heard Toyo T1-S is a good wet/dry tire. I've been thinking of getting them myself once the weather is good enough for me to even drive my stang. They are expensive though.

I'm actually a big fan of the M/T ET Streets. I had them on my Z28, they stuck like hell when you heated them up, and while it's not the smartest thing in the world, you could drive it home in the rain with them. </P>


As long as you don't get on it hard, you'll be fine.</P>

Its not that I intend to leave my garage in the rain w DRadials but in Cen Pa it rains alot and sometimes I get caught at the track or an hour from home and dont want to be stuck or killed driving home.

RJM - It's your friendly central pennsylvanian here.</P>


I tried to look it up for you but I saw an article about a new BFG that has very good traction in weather...but is also a good sticky tire.</P>

nitto's don't hook unless you have a 275 or bigger, and the BFG DR TA's do hook in the rain. believe it or not... but, if you do hit a puddle of standing water, you are done. like someone else said, if you are worried about driving in the rain on DR's, then get some street tires...
