Default MT Dr ?'s

Has anyone driven their Micket T DR's in the rain, or have these tires on a daily driver that see's rain?

Yeah. They suck in the rain, I was able to go 45mph tops in the rain on the interstate. Even then I felt the rear fish tail.

Dry traction is a different story... M/T DRs stick like glue on the road.
Dont expect much mileage out of them on your daily either.
With your mods I would recommend Nitto 555R's

I had Nittos on my car, they are better in the rain. M/T are not that good in the rain. I run 22psi on the street and at the track in mine. The car is not my daily driver anymore. It depends on what your other stuff is , but you might be better with Nittos.

How many times can we ask, "The Drag Radial in the rain question . . . ." ?????

It's a tire with virtually no tire tread . . .
