    I had great luck with traction on wet pavement, until I installed my supercharger.

    Are you in the drought area? If so, that sucks. Hope you guys get some relief in the near future. I'm always dealing with wet roads here.


    I was getting on an on ramp yesterday and I gave it a little over half throttle and my ass end starting to kick out. My tires suck.

    For an A/T I would recommend C rated Cooper AT3. Lots of good reviews on this site for that tire.

    I have Michelin LTX M/S2 and if you want an amazing on-road tire (wet road traction is fantastic) with a crazy long tread life that is worth a serious look but you want the A/T look so if that's more important that tread life disregard.

    Traction is beast. I kinda got a lead foot and it was coming down in buckets the other day. I was going about 80 mph on the highway and I had no problems, just passing everyone.:cool:

    Not as bad as some places, I was going to post some info but in the search, I came across this and it does a good job of painting that picture of our rainfall this year.
