I've Top-10'd in autocrosses (60-70 car fields) in the wet on the Rt's. I think they're a better wet tire then Hoosier rain slicks.

As hard as it was raining at times and the amount of water on the track that day, and really having no time on them at all except for the drive to the track, I really wasn't sure what to expect. Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised also.
