Damn man that sucks, My car was all over I-20 too, I had to pull over several times.
Almost lost it between 287 and 820. DRs and water dont go well.

Good to hear your okay, and hope that car makes it through too.

lol thanks for the personal concern guys. I had Gforce T/A KDW newtreads on back with about 50% left on em I went back and forth a couple times before it turned around backwards and flew across 2 lanes. I just read a damn article that said those tires are supposed to be great in the rain too. *******

Glad to hear no one was injurred,

I have had about 4 sets of KDW's and never had any problems in the rain,
as long as they were not bald, I love those tires.

I have run ET Streets on the street in the pouring rain with no problems though,
but I probably drive like a ***** in the rain,
