I wouldn't try them in the pouring rain on the freeway.

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

Yup been in the rain with pretty much all the DR's out there

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.

Thanks for the input guys.

I have only driven with Nitto DR's in the rain, and some of you old timers may remember how that turned out.

Oh god! You did't think I'd drive the 94 in the rain did you?!

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
