I refuse to slow down! No seriously, I wasn't driving fast at all. I take HWY4 to work, so there is nowhere I could drive fast if I wanted to. That's just how bad these dunlops are in the rain. The dunlops I used to have on my VW Corrado had the same problem. Dunlops no likey heavy rain.

I'm surprised nobody uses Goodyear Eagle F1's. They're cheaper than S03's in 17" trim and handle better in the rain. On dry pavement they're perform almost as good as S03's.

Every puddle I hit jerked the car around on the 92's. The tires just suck year round. I had to stay on the gas since I was going up hill and it actually helped the car recover from going all the way sideways. Just do not stomp on the brakes and slow down! I also noticed alot of brake issues where it feels like the car would not stop. Same issue when you hit tiny bumps.

My ES 100s have suprisingly been ok in the rain today. Coming from HMB in down pour and crazy wind, I managed to hook the whole way. *knocks on wet wooden bench*

I just ordered Pirelli PZero Neros for my new (to me) 17" rotas. My stock RE92's with 19K miles did so so today driving over hwy17 from SJ to SV. Hydroplaned many times, but the highway gets sheets of slick spots so its kind of scary at times. =x
