Will I die? Drag Radials in the Rain
I run Nittos year round rain or shine. The width of the tires (275/60-15 and 325/50-15's) and hydro-planning is my biggest worry. Heck, I've even hydroplaned with 35/13.50-18's on my truck at 65mph in heavy rain.
Seems like 50mph+ when water its raining and water is really flowing on the road is plenty to lift the rear tires off the pavement. From stoplight to stop light they hook just as hard as any non-Drag Radial tire I've used before. Especially if I pedal them initially to scrub off the tread for a few feet.
