Nice, looked pretty quick for how wet it was.

Are you using rain tires or just street tires for that wet of condition.

I gave up r comps for autox in 2005; the fairly fresh dunlop z1* 255 seemed good in the rain, living up to the high marks on tire tests

Hmm, they seem to do pretty dang good. If theirs any standing water my V710's become laughable, so I end up running my 235 KD-W's which are only barely ok.

I actually though about next year running snow tires like my roommate uses on his Evo. Its amazing how much grip they have in the rain and snow compared just about anything else Ive tried.

Damn nice traction, in that slush too!

the snow tires i have suck at braking and the sidewalls are jello; they'd be terrible for a rain autox

I love running in the rain. Brings down all the fast 2WD cars.

Ive only tried my friends snow tires (Hankook) on his evo, and only on the street. Maybe they'd feel different at 10/10th's vs just messing around on the street.
