How bad is it?
Drag radials and rain....
Since my accident I drive like an old lady every time the weather turns just a little bit, but ive never driven on DRs before. What can I expect this summer, since my TA will be my daily driver. Thanks guys

DR's in the rain is an insanely stupid combination [:@] you run the risk of hydroplaning even at SLOW driving speeds,, I'm talking about 25-30mph.
Don't be LAZY. Once you're done racing take the DR's off & put on DOT street tires. That'll also make your DR's last longer.
..unless you're one of those impulsive street racers that want to have the DR's on at all times??

I just saw some Mickey Thompson radials at the speed shop.
They looked very rain friendly.
The saleman there said they are not as good for drag racing as a drag radial but a great comprimise for true daily drivers. Only 15 and 18" available so far.

the Nitto DRs are pretty good in the rain, ive been caught in the rain a few times with no problems and my friend never had any problems with his either, even when the tread got low. Just drive sensible and you'll be fine.
