the radials arent bad in the rain. Now when you say ET Streets, do you accually mean the Radials because the ET Streets are a completely different story, like others said, dont drive like an idiot. Just remember to keep your speed down and easy around corners.

I drove home in the rain on m/t drag radials once, and the car was all over the place. A friend wrecked his car driving home in the rain on drag radials, going 30mph. Its your choice, good luck and hope you have full coverage & a tight seatbelt.
I have MT 275s mounted on stock wheels its not fun driving in rain, the car is all over place. Now, I dont even drive the car in the rain. If you plan dd with drag radials then get nittos.

I have BFG Drag radials and i've only driven in the rain once or twice, (ive only had my car for 4 or 5 months). From what i remember I was fine, but you just gotta be really careful. I've heard stories of people spinning out on highways with drag radials.
