Driving in the Rain
Re: Driving in the Rain
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.

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.

Rain Tires would sacrifice much the performance on dry weather?
Thanks
