Sliding in the rain
I had some fun on my drive to work today!
First, coming out of my street, I made a left hand turn to a newly paved road and I got a slight drift over the wet loose gravel
Fifteen minutes later, I was sitting at an uphill right hand turn metering light waiting for my turn. When the light changes to green, I give some light throttle and I get a nice rotation and slight power slide
I love the rain!

Not me...I was in the rain driving to work this morning. I experienced some drifting and sliding too...but it wasn't too fun because there was a lot of traffic around me.

I only have 3K miles on the S03s and I think they are a great all around tire. The first slide resulted from loose (and wet) gravel on a newly paved road. The second slide was a result of having too much steering input for the conditions. I was pointed uphill at the metering light (lots of weight on the back end, very little weight on the front end), with my steering wheel turned to the right. At that angle, my rear wanted to go "straight"
