no probs here with the nitto drags... they work as well has stock tires on mine. But of coarse I usually slow down a little with any tires when its pouring out <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

nittos are the best all around tire you can run! drag and street!

The Nitto Drag Radials are awesome in the rain when they have alot of tread on them. Mine are starting to get pretty wore so now its pretty scary if I get caught in the rain.

Like they said, as long as they have decent tread on them, they are as stable in the rain as any other radial I've ever driven on.

I've got lots of tread still on my Nittos and they have great wet traction. I have a lot more confidence in the rain with these than I ever did with the RSAs. We'll see how I feel about them as they wear down. Right now, they are awesome.

They are good for 160+ in the rain <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> when "NEW" ! (don't ask how I know <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" /> )

After they are down to 3/32 or less 55 mph or less is advised ! (again don't ask how I know <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" /> )
