They're fine in rain when new, just don't plow thru standing water. Once you wear the tread off and only the two circumferential grooves are left, advoid the rain. These aren't drag tires (stiff sidewall) so hard launches can produce wheelhop if you're on a grippy surface. They corner unbelievably....

I believe the tire choice is going to make my head explode. This car will not see the rain, at least by choice anyway. I want something with big grip to handle the power I am planning on (as much as it can be handled). And I want it to handle well and predictably. I am not so concerned with wear I just want the car to be stuck to the road.
I am somewhere between the Nitto NT01, NT05 and Michelin PS2's. There's a wide spread.
