Yes I've driven them in the rain and they do get loose on the freeway if you give it any gas even in 5th ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Yup been in the rain with pretty much all the DR's out there ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)
A lot of it for me depended on how much tread was left on the tire.
Brand new MT's with lots of life left.....i had no prob on city streets driving very cautiously and freeway rides were kept to a minimal as possible and nothing over 60-65mph for me.
Worn out DR's were a sketchy situation both city and freeway in the rain or even when just wet pavement.

I had nittos on my 95 and i drove it in the rain. If theres a LOT of water like you hit a puddle or something you easily lose control.

Add 1 more to the DR's and rain don't mix crew. I totaled my '87 in 1999 when I went through an intersection at about 40 MPH that had some standing water.

Oh god! You did't think I'd drive the 94 in the rain did you?! ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)
I'm talking about my daily beater 92 LX
If I was out in the 94 and it started raining I would find a parking garage and wait. I would wait days if I had to...lol
