Which Drag Radial is best in the rain? A buddy of mine just bought some BFG's, and they seem pretty good in the dry, but I'm not sure about in the rain. To me the Nitto's LOOK like they'll perform better, but i'm not sure. What does every recommend for factory 16's and what size for a daily driver? Thanks!
Re: Which Drag Radial is best in the rain? I've only had the Nittos but would have to say they did very decent in wet weather for the first few thousand miles.
Standing water still SUCKS in them, but it was worth it for me to have them on all the time.

Re: Which Drag Radial is best in the rain? My car now has a new paint job due to BFG DR's in a sudden thunderstorm. Now I'm running Nitto 315's & it's a world of difference. The BFG's hook a little better @ the track, but knowing that I'm not going to hydroplane into a concrete barrier in a Sudden storm is worth the little bit I lose in my short time.

Re: Which Drag Radial is best in the rain? I was riding with my friend in his ARE H/C Z06 yesterday... we got caught in a downpour. The BFGs were literally scary as hell. That thing was fishtailing like mad...
