Is this your daily? If rain is even a question don't bother w/ DRs, driving in the rain w/ DR is really walking on thin ICE. Is it worth it?

DR's in the rain is tricky, when new you have a chance to float around, and when there worn after a few thousand miles don't even think about going through a puddle. I had 295/35-18's mounted on some c5 z06 rears and that was exciting... Best bet would be to buy a set of rear wheels for DR use only and swap them out if your going to use them, plus don't plan on doing long trips on DR's on the highway as they can boil and ruin the tire.
