Default Drag Radials

Are there any drag radials out there that will actually preform well in the rain? I want something that hooks well in the rain and has decent hydroplaning resistance. Am I looking for a DR that doesn't exist?

No such thing as a DR that hooks in rain...
If you want a good street tire that will hook up in wet/dry, look into the BFG KDW IIs--neat tread pattern, good quality, but you pay for what you get

Nittos are just fancy street radials. Throw them on and your 60's are crap when compared to real DRs.

The one thing you have to remember is that all these drag radials are DOT approved. That means they are "safe" in the rain. If you don't act like an ******* like 95% of the people who wreck on this forum you'll be fine.
