You know ... I used to have Yokohama Advan Sport 255/45 in all 4 corners and since I got this 555R my car hooks up way MORE in the wet pavement, with the others I barely touched the pedal and I was already spining the tires. I've driven them in highway with rain up to 65 - 70 with no problems, just dont floor the pedal or your rearend will go to a wrong direction lol.
I'm very pleased with this tires, not that I drive in rain at high speed... or inrainy days,most likely never, few rainy days here.

My M&H drag radials had traction on a wet road. I could accelerate from a stop just fine. However they were very susceptible to standing water. The more rubber contacting the road, the better the tire will hook. That's why all drag radials have large areas of smooth rubber between the treads. Not such a good thing to prevent hydroplaning though. I'd be very careful with those nittos. I think they have a similar tread pattern to the M&H.
