...or will those of you who made such a big fuss about it still insist that running D/R's in the rain is fine after reading this?

To be totally honest with you yes I do think its fine, but people push the limits too much. Especially with the MT and grooveless BFGs. If you stay within those limits you will be fine. And nope I do not owe an apology....I made it perfectly clear that DRs are as dangerous in the rain as you make them. This argument is totally opinion based....its not a matter of facts.
Its just like me going and jumping on all of you that let your rear tires thread get below Lincons hair on the penny and telling everyone "dont drive with tires that have less than 2/32nds of tread left or you will wreck your car!" .
When your tires are going bad you should know not to drive like they are brand new tires....and with Drs...especially the MTs/BFGs, thats how you should approach rain from the moment you buy them...like your rear tires are freegin bald.
EDIT: Since the thread was brought back from the grave a few posts up and was basically aimed at me...I forgot I already said that I was done with this thread...lol.
a friend of mine with a 90 LX on BFG DR's drove to work the other day when it was raining out. he didn't crash, shall i make a thread about it and post the link to it here?
any bottom-feeder with half a brain knows DR's+ rain= not ideal, but it's not a guarantee you're going to crash like some of you make it out to be
i about did the same thing in a downpour doing 40mph on kuhmo full radial street tires.....guess you cant run street tires in the rain either.
time for everyone to start RIDIN RIMS!
You guys make me chuckle.
No, it's not a guarantee that you're gong to crash in the rain on D/R's, but it's a damn good probability if you do it enough times! More so than running even the cheapest radial tires!
Your line of reasoning is kinda out to lunch on this one. I mean, It's also not a guarantee that if you play Russian Roulette, you're going to blow your brians out either, but does that make it a good idea?
Some of you fellas jump all over KT for stating it wasn't a good idea, like he just broke the news to you that he raped your sisters or something? I can't believe the attitude with some of you guys. Just because you haven't wrecked your car in the rain on D/R's yet, doesn't mean it can't and isn't likely to happen. You don't have to be screwing around for the ass end to jump out on you, as 04YELLOWGT stated. It's a tire specifically designed for clean, dry pavement and running them in the rain is just an unessary risk, plain and simple....so why take the chance with your car and your life, just to prove a fruitless point?
