It's pouring in where I live, and some streets even have minor floods. My car went sideways for half a car length earlier when I was driving home (was going around a turn in an underpass).

Was just driving normally below speed limit, and was only applying constant and light throttle around the turn. All of a sudden the tail came out Have stock RE050s with about 80% tread left. Anyway, just letting you guys know gotta be careful out there!

 

That's like one of the first few warnings we get Ya gotta remind yourself all the time.

 

Just tons of accidents out there. Seeing double decker buses smashing into minivans, 3-series doing 360s ... quite crazy out there.

 

Good reminder that all S2ks are tail happy, especially in the rain.

 

Threads like this always baffle me. When it's raining I always drive above the speed limit with no problems. Granted, I'm not talking about tsunami conditions, but if you drive with care, no harsh inputs, you should be just fine. I can't understand how the back end would just give out while being constant on the throttle and good tires on, unless you're hydroplaning.

 

^you have traction control. the OP doesnt.

 

also, im sure he is driving in a tsunami. It rains quite hard in his part of the globe. Notice he said some streets are flooding

 

I don't think his circumstances involve a garden hose like yours.

In very wet conditions, like ANY RWD car our S2000's are very easy to get side ways. This is totally dependent on tires though, a lot of these incidents involve people driving with summer tires in pouring rain. Get something better suited for the weather and the car has ZERO issues.

 

I used to think that too, until yesterday when my car did that. Like I said, it was constant throttle input and constant steering ...

Not saying I'm the best driver, but I'm not a newbie either ...

 

No, it does not have ZERO issues. Just as snow tires help in the snow but do not make it just like driving on dry pavement, rain tires help in the rain but do not erase all the possible complications.
