Default spun in the rain

I just spun out in the rain on my bald dr's as soon as i catch my breath
I'm going to put on my michelins. I was only doing like 35-40 mph when
they just broke loose sending me acroos two lanes spinning wildly. I was lucky there was no traffic. My advise to anyone driving on bald Dr's is to get then off now.

Same thing just happened to a friend of mine on an interstate entrance ramp - hit a guardrail and did some minor damage. Be careful out there...

With plenty of tread, my daily driving Nitto DR's did better in the rain than my KDWS.

I just thought that most everyone driving a v6/v8 powered Fbod would realize to be careful when running nearly slick DR's in the rain.. He was being careful, I know..

K Ill apologize to the thread beginner.
