    There’s so many snotty lil keyboard warriors on the this forum. Ignore them and throw some sandbags in your bed. Take it easy and remember if it hasn’t rained in a while it will be very slick

    I might also suggest checking your tire air pressure again and with a Michelin of any flavor, no weight in the back, don't run over 32 psi.
    I have Michelins and run 35 in the front and 32 in the rear. Over the years, this (in my opinion) has given me the best tire wear, traction and ride comfort.
    Also in my opinion, you won't find a much better tire for your application.

    Yes you can drive around corners as long as not having to crank the wheel. I have done it in downpours and never had an issue. No, I wouldn’t use it at interstate speeds as you already stated.

    I definitely feel as though some tires are way worse than others but driver input is probably the most significant factor. I can slip or drift 100% of the time when accelerating or turning or 0% of time depending on how I choose to drive. Keeping your gas tank full might help a little but generally give yourself space and be smooth with your inputs; it's that simple.
