Unhappy Downpouring and RE070's

Well last night in and around Chicago was a nightmare. Normally I LOVE driving in the rain, but with my new RE070's I had to keep it under 60 mph. On the expressway they hydroplanned in about any rain and well was a real pistol to control.

I know that it doesnt down pour everyday, but cmon these came stock on a STI.

P.S. I dont have a STI and on dry pavement WOW they grip like a fricking ****.

BTW ****'s grip good.

So in the end of the day, I am just disapointed, it will go away and so will the rain and I will love the RE070's again. Just a word to the wise.

I make it a point to ALWAYS avoid ANY standing water just on princple.

Lost my RS for that lesson.

RE-92s still suck though.
