Traction, earlier this year I was driving back from bobs at like 230am it had just started raining and I was doing about 55mph in the number 3 lane, hit some water the car came around on me I kept it straigh then it just swugn around , I kept it within two lanes. After that I kind of am nervous about driving it in the rain seeing as how I have 555r's on the car and they are not rated too well for wet traction lol.

Ohh when the car spun out I was driving on just about bald MT ET street radials.

dude i drive my car with 666rwtq all the time in the rain, i like drifting though haha.

but seriously if you just drive normally you will be fine, you prob just hydroplaned with those bald tires last time. those 555r's dont have good wet traction, but you wont crash either.

LOL yeah at some point I may get over it haha, I know it was the bald tires but still one of those mental things.

That happened to me once it was scary having no control of a spining vehicle. I was on some near bald MT Drag Radials.
