Why would someone swap out all 4 wheels just because of one day of rain. I mean i can see 2 back wheels but thats about as far as id go with that.

Dont know about the weather where the OP is from, but I am assuming he is gonna change them out for a season/few months, not just for a day.

^ agreed

I have a second set of wheels with Michelin PS2's for the upcoming Winter (still sunny/warm during the day her in Cali

) I am going to have to install those puppies pretty quick here as my nearly bald R888's will be only a slight improvement over dimebag's M/T's in the wet.

Yea, i guess that would make sense to have like those tires just for winter/rainy season if there is one where he lives.

Rainy season? Here its the entire year (except for when we get snow). Our days can start out nice and sunny and we can have a down pour that afternoon. Hell, it can be nice and sunny in one town while a town just 10 miles away is getting flooded.

Well youre right there at the great lakes. Here in south central PA, we dont really have a rainy season but we do have a dry season from june to august. Like we get like no rain for 3 months. So i think that im gonna buy some tires for spring and summer and some tires for my stock rims for stock wheels for late fall and winter...sumitomos probably cus they are cheap.
