[QUOTE="Iamchris, post: 16243909, member: 21687"] Some years ago I rolled a Mach 1 on drag radials, in a moderate rain and travelling around 40-50mph. The car was a fair weather machine, but I occasionally got stuck in the rain because I didnt care too-too much about getting her wet. Prior to that accident, many people had spoken about drag radials being "fine in the rain if you take it easy". I found that to be false. I'm not saying everyone will experience what I did, but I swore off drag-radials after that accident. Fast forward to now. My cars are never taken out in the rain and see maybe 500 miles a year. I am considering an R compound tire on my next purchase, probably the 888R. I am confident at this point that I would not drive in the rain... otherwise I wouldnt consider them. Also, with that said I believe that a fair amount of traction is to be gained in correcting and reinforcing the suspension. I believe that the tires are critical of course, but you will still get a lot of spin with an R compound without visiting the suspension/bushings. These cars need corrections before they can be expected to get a solid hook, I think a lot of people who only drive Mustangs havent really realized how badly these things hook up, even on drag radials.
