Driving in the Rain
 

I drive a 2004 coupe and even though I LOVE the car it drives like S*#% in the RAIN. I Know it is a rear wheel driving but is there any way I can make it at more RELIABLE in the rain?
Rain Tires would sacrifice much the performance on dry weather?


Thanks

If you have the stock conti's check the treadwear, personally I think that quite a few "summer" tires to quite well in the rain, I have the general exclaim UHP's and I'll never go back, they're reasonably priced, and do well in the rain, and amazing on dry pavement. They're a little noisy, but it's comparable to conti's. If you have the Michelin pilot PS2's then yeah they're terrible in the rain, but AMAZING on dry pavement.

Re: Driving in the Rain
 

What do you have for tires and how many miles are on them?

Re: Driving in the Rain
 

Don't push the pedal down so far/so fast.

I haven't had any trouble with my car in the snow...though it did have winter tires on it, but still...

Re: Driving in the Rain
 

Never any problems in the rain even when the originals were worn down to slicks. The problem is you can't drive 100+ MPH in the rain and you can't step on the gas either. Know that when it rains or snows, just slow it down and don't make any sharp turns.

Don't blame the tires... blame the road conditions and drive according to those conditions.

I'm the opposite, these tyres are great in the wet. Is your suspension geometry dialled in correctly and tyre pressures correct?

Re: Driving in the Rain
 

I have driven on PS2's, Contis and Kumho's and have had not problems. Yes, if I push the gas to fast they will all slip a little in the rain.... I live in Oregon....we get a little rain.....:rolleyes: there are limits to everything....;)

First thing I did when I bought my '05 coupe in '08,was buy a full set of new Conti's. So far they've been excellent in the rain. No complaints.

Re: Driving in the Rain
 

I would have to say the problem is you or you have some sort of drag radials on, This car drives like dream in rain. just as good as on a dry surface.

Re: Driving in the Rain
 

Mine has a problem in the rain also. I am not sure what it is, but every time it is raining, there is an orange colored light that keeps flashing on my dash, and it won't stop flashing. It gets pretty damn annoying. :confused:

Hey, I resemble that remark. LOL

Re: Driving in the Rain
 

Exactly what light is that?

:) :) I wish i still had my cobra and showed you some skid marks when i punched her at 60mph on a DRY pavement :D

Re: Driving in the Rain
 

ROTFLMFAO......... Yep, it looks exactly like your avatar. Damn, that gave me flashbacks. LOL

Re: Driving in the Rain
 

I have old Conti's on mine and I have no problem in the rain. That flashing light means that there is a crash about to happen and the car is trying to save you. :eek:

Re: Driving in the Rain
 

Two things here, #1 When it rains slow down. #2 Like me, Dont drive in the rain, then you wont have any trouble :rolleyes:

Re: Driving in the Rain
 

Bat has the GoodYear Eagle F1 DS-G3 tires on her Crossfire, and they are one of the best rain tires I've ever had the pleasure to drive on in a sports car.

No flashy yellow light or anything.

BC.

I have the Michelin pilot on my srt6 and have no problem in the rain. Ran the Dragon last spring fall with them with the best ride and control yet.:rolleyes: Rain or shine
