Is this a daily driver or a racer? Drag radials will be slippery when wet. I have BFG G-force KDW-NT in all four corners, had to convince them to come loose in the rain. Great all around tires.

those Sumi's are **** tires, just look @ the treadwear rating, I think it was 180 IIRC. you'd be lucky to get 10,000 miles from them...

x2 on the Nittos, they are very good in the rain.
