Default Stock tires= gasgsadgwg

Alright guys so I just got home about an hour ago and It was raining like hell.
I entered the 5 North and soon enough found out what I got myself into.
I was driving 50 mph and the car just starts loosing traction and my traction indicator keeps turning on and off, I was holding the car steady and I felt like the car was just gonna slide out of control so I just exited the freeway because I was close to my house anyways but yea just wanted to share my story, first time in this harsh of a rain with the s2k.

are your tires balding? stock tires (re050) on my car were great in the rain, until they started to wear down. then they were just good rain drift tires, but i could still do 50 in heavy rain.

lol... i've had this sort of experience by at a sub 10mph speed and no vsa (MY03 ;p). i'm glad i haven't had one at your speed.

but i'm actually excited about the rain here in SD. gonna find me a dead parking lot... hopefuly.

it's good you remained calmed and stayed safe though. good job.

Narek, please take care. You don't want to hurt your S (or yourself for that matter). Drive easy in harsh weather.

Agree with flight -- good that you remained calm. Control is key.
