I also lost control that night but I was only going around 30 so it was easy to stop. hxtr 1

Good tires if you can afford them but good tires or not when it starts raining heavy . . . . SLOW DOWN . . Even on good tires the faster you go the better chance of a layer of water developing between your tires and the road and once that happens you are no longer in control and just there for the ride. When it rains here heavy and I'm driving I will switch into my winter icy road mode and slow down and drive as if every curve is frozen . . . it might piss the guy off behind me but I don't give a rats ass . . . . . . . moron_6, hxtr and sur1795 3 Awards

I just got these tires last month and I can book it at 70mph even if it is raining hard and going through big puddles. It has some kind of Orange Oil in the compound and man... they stick to the road. Never had tires like these.... YK580's. BTW I don't recommend anyone to driving 70mph in the rain... unless you use RainX. You won't be able to see shit. http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/hybrid-electric/a7593/the-science-behind-yokohamas-orange-oil-tires-8146348/ http://www.yokohamatire.com/tires/consumer/?year=&make=&model=&option=&width=195&aspect_ratio=55&rim_size=15&submit=1&search_by=by_size

The tires are $110 a piece... so kind of in the middle on cost. 500 out the door. Tires are the most import accessory your car has in my opinion.
