Gotcha, makes sense now. I was gonna say, the MTs would probably do in a pinch in the rain, just from looking @ the tred pattern, but you're right...I wouldn't want anyone around me so I could take my time.

The Nitto's aren't bad when they're new. After about half tread depth, they go to crap pretty quick. Just stay out of ponding water and road ruts and you should be fine.

I just mounted my M/Ts today. They are deffinatly a nice drag radial. I wouldn't get caught in the rain unless I had to though. They will probrably be between an ET street and BFG DR in the rain. Shouldn't be to bad around town but there is no way in hell I'd take them out on a wet highway.

I dont have a problem with my Nittos "not yet anyways" its raining here today and drove just fine, actually better then my Kumho street tires ever did, havent taken a corner hard yet, but I have put it at WOT in damp streets and couldnt break them loss, they just hooked and went. I did go from a stop and just tapped on the gas and she did break loss in the back, but nothing real bad.
