BS... 1) larger tires just float on top of water and smaller tires cut through the water.. 2)Slicks have no grooves to disperse the water.

I've got 315/35r17 nitto drag radials on the rear that i keep on all the time. Whats wierd is that i get better traction in the rain with my slicks than an all weather tire. Not sure if it's the size of the tire or what, but i havent had any problems with them. The price varies depending on the size and quality that you get. Anywhere between 150-300 per tire.

The Nitto 555R's actually do have grooves for the water to disperse through, that's why I said they are one of the more street-friendly D/R's.

Yeah he was talking about his Nitto 555R D/R's I'm sure. I took it for a slip of the tongue (fingers?). lol
