Sketchy Rain Driving
yeah I plan on getting an alignment once I put my coils and wheels on
zero toe front and a small amount of rear toe in is an alignment on the slightly more aggressive side
As you approach 40 degrees, summer performances tires degrade quite a bit, according to Michelin, Car and Track and others sources. In addition, when rain first begins after a dry period, oils and other contaminents come to the surface making things slippery.
Changing surfaces, as others have pointed out, can suddenly affect traction. I recall a number of accident threads when an S driver hit the steel mesh on a bridge and lost control.

55 deg. should have been OK. If it was 40 or lower (as Cosmomiller mentioned) I would suspect that being part of it, but summer tires should be fine at 55.
The stock alignment is slight toe-in in the rear and zero in the front and that works pretty well for most folks unless they have the above heavy modifications to support less rear toe.
