I had my 555r's in the rain about a week ago. They have less than 1000 miles on them and maybe 4 burnouts. At 50 they were hydroplaning, had to slow down to 40 to keep them on the road.

I drove mine in a downpour on July 4th. They wew better than I expected, but I didn't feel comfortable with them over about 45 mph on the highway. I was very careful as well. I lost a high performance car in the rain in the past, and wasn't going to have it happen again.
