Ooooo it's raining!
I'm just switching back to the RE-92's. Anyone else afraid of the rain while your car wears the stock rims? And am I the only person that likes to splash through puddles?
i ditched my re92's just last week...i don't trust them. granted i drive like a grandma when it rains (was going 45mph on 880 today!), it still makes no sense to me to bear the extra risk by riding on re92's. i'd gladly pay $$$ for the peace of mind.

yes s-03s suck in mud and dirt and i was surprised that they did a lot better than i had expected in the snow
Grrrrr, having been born in raised in Mass and New Hampshire, cali drivers still annoy the living snot out of me....the slightest hint of weather and people slow down to 20 on the freeway and get scared to change lanes.....on the upside rain=fun with sliding in parkinglots ^_^
rain and mud is some of the fun my car lives for.
although i've never tried these tires in rain, i'm guessing they'll be okay. i got the es100's. i heard they're good. i dont slow down to lower than the speed limit in rain, but i'm deffinately more cautious. especially since i've been in all these car accidents lately.

i was stuck on 280 for 45mins, just trying to get to 380. it took me 1hour and 20mins to get to hayward from san francisco today.
of all the days, today i decided to drive the civic. the rain was so heavy i couldnt see in front of me. i was relying on the tail lights of the car in front of me.
it was easier driving in snow.

These stock tires are fairly predictable in the rain, not too scary but then again I was riding on balding Kumho 712s in the rain and that was not good. But in the snow that's a whole other story on the re92s. Really scary on ice in Tahoe, not cool.
