I have had a few incidents that I don't like to discuss.

I"ve got a couple of incidents, I would discuss, but then I'd have to explain why I'm nearly buying stock in Pirelli. Oh, wait, that mainly happens on dry roads.......at the track, of course

With my Bridgestone 750's, it has not happened yet. Overall I think it depends on how much power your engine has and your car mods, and also on your tires.

Really hasn't happened that much with me. I have to be tearing around a corner before my traction starts to go. Try the Goodyears in my sig. GREAT for wet traction.

I agree with him...If you know how to drive in the rain you shouldn't have any problems in any car....unless you've got some bad flooding in which case you shouldn't be on the road anyway ...but yeah, I havn't had any rain incidents.

My car hardly ever grips from a stop in the rain. And it only fishtails when I want it to.

There's only been one incident where I almost lost it in the rain. But it was pouring so hard, there had to be like 3-4in. on the road, and my tires were close to needing replacing.

also

The only problems I've had is if i try to turn this one corner going onto the university campus in the rain, its about a 120 degree turn. You just have to go very very easy on the gas. Practice is all it takes.


Stopping is a different story. I was very close to rear ending a car in my old stang without ABS/Traction, so I made SURE that my new one had it!

Occasionally, but I wouldn't call that a problem
