** First update **

I rained like mad here today. My first chance to see how these tires perform on something other than a dry road. Pretty impressive, but, remember, I am comparing these to the nearly treadless tires I had on the car. Spirited acceleration from the lights - very rarely did the TC kick in. Pushing it in the corners and curves - handled much more than I would have imagined.

So far, I still like these tires very much. Everything good and nothing bad so far.
