Wide tires + rain + daily driver = what traction

Tread pattern has a big influence on how well a tire works in the rain. Something that channels water away from the contact patch more aggressively helps a bunch, but finessing the loud pedal and not charging into turns harder than the tires/suspension can deal with are still factors. The pizza cutter tires on my dart have become horribly inadequate on anything but dry pavement with the addition of non-factory valve timing and the stuff to support it.
