Default wet traction sumitomo's

Do you guys who DD yer 315 sumitomo tires think you really notice the less wet traction compared to your old tires?

Just debating about going the sumitomo vs the gsd3's If the sumi's are good as long as traction holds up.. seems like you could afford 3 sets to the one

Anyways.. I just dont really wanna risk losing trction during a good old NC summer downpour.

I have 275s, not 315s, but i can vouch that i've never lost traction in some of the worst rain California has to offer (yes, it rains in Northern California) in my GS-D3s. Mines a DD and they've been on for 2 full years now.
