[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 10332137, member: 11681"] DRs are going to be bad in the rain. They are a drag racing tire, and they don't drag race in the rain. Road racing DOT approved treaded R compounds, have to be good in the rain, because road racers run in the rain. Even though they have less tread depth than a full street tire... they ARE GOOD in the rain, and around corners. They will wear just as fast as most DRs, but they also HOOK almost as good, yet have a handling type side wall with good stiffness. Full street tires that have good rain and hook characteristics are: Nitto NT05 Falken 615K Kumho XS And there are others, I mentioned those because they are reasonably priced and therefor not a big deal to burn up, where as the awesome R888s(which are R compound road racing tire) are pretty damn pricey. They are also an incredible tire! :rockon: For full streets look at extreme summer only performance tires with a wear number under 200, over 200 and they are not going to hook all that well. [/QUOTE]
