Leave tractions and stability control on ... your own words tell me that you cannot effectively control the car with your right foot.

I agree with the above. If you're driving the car in the wet the same way you do in the dry, you're a crash waiting to happen.
Heed the advice of post #10.

unless you know what your doing your Vdc should be on any weather on public streets. And if it is this problem more then likely shouldn't be happening unless there is something wrong with Vdc? Does light come on?

I guess learn to drive with those tires or get Pss, extreme dw, or potenzas if you want to feel confident in the rain.

The general consensus here, at least from my understanding, is that the best tires for everyday Z driving are the Michelin PSS. I believe you may be making a mistake going to the BFG's.

About 2-3 years now, and I've always driven rear posi cars. first car was a BRZ and second obviously the Z. I never had a problem in the rain with the BRZ. Getting the tires put on tuesday or wednesday and will report back about how I like them after the first 100-500 miles.

As everyone stated good set of tires and proper alignment of your car.
Best of all excercise caution and good logic when driving on wet roads. Make sure the VDC is on. Ease up on the gas pedal and listen to GP. Btw the BRZ is not like anything compared to the Z in terms of hp and torque. The Z can bite you back like a Doberman the BRZ is a pussy cat. No offense.

The other thing is that the donuts on the Prius, I mean brz, cut through water better. The z has wide, fat tires that will float over water.

A. Summer tires in winter = Bad performance
B. Close to 300 RWHP will easily spin the tires when you want even in the dry not to mention the wet. You could spin the tires on 130whp manual car in the wet if you want to. C. Stock tires are not bad but they are not great. D. Drive within the limits of you, your car, and the road conditions. This car is in a high enough insurance bracket as it is. |

This is turn 14 at Thunderhill in the wet, at about 45 MPH. VDC on.
