can get about this squirrely: left the house and it wasn't raining, wasnt supposed to rain till the next night, and well on the way home, what ya know, it rained, went to change lanes to pull off the freeway at about 35-40mph and found myself doing some Tokyo Drift **** across 3 lanes of traffic and managed to keep it off the wall for the most part, buuuttt ended up in ditch/downgrade right before the off ramp

^^^Ouch

i did find out just how squirrley the other day. Had em on the car and there was like a 30% chance of isolated T-storms. woke up for work around 4pm, bright and sunny and hot so i decided not to bother switching back to my street tires before work. I have to leave by 530 to make it there by 6. So at 525pm still sunny and hot as it ever is in houston, it started pouring. had no choice but to drive to work in the rain, actually it only rained for like 5 min but the roads were soaked. **** is scary on slicks

they float around even on dry roads. Just avoid running them on rain chance days. I doubt the cops will say anything too you unless you are acting like an idiot and racing etc. I was running a set of non dot hoosier quick time pros. And I never ever had 1 problem with cops. Ive been all over on a pair of slicks and never had a cop pull me over for that.
