RE11's and rain?
 
I am thinking about getting these tires for my Nismo wheels soon. But read some threads about them not doing too well in the rain. Is that the case? It rains a lot here but it doesn't downpour, mostly drizzle and just wet. (Seattle) Should I get a different tire?

the re11's are a summer tire, but i drove the z sunday here in sd and it was coming down pretty good. i didnt get on it but the tires felt pretty good in the rain, but i was being extra cautious

While not great, I think they would be ok as long as you are careful when it is wet.

If you want a great pacific northwest performance tire, look no further than the PSS. It will amaze you wet or dry.

try the S04 PolePositions. they stick like glue in the wet even down to low temps like around 40F range. night/day difference from the RE050A's. :)

There more than fine for the rain. I've gone 70mph and felt very confident.

I've got the same weather as you just north of the border and have driven on the freeway in heavy downpours with no issues.

Uni-T FTW! :tup:

They feel much better than stock tires in rain. I can accelerate and stop a lot better.
