It all depends on how important dry traction is to you. I live in Michigan and for the first half of the tread wear I don't worry about rain on the freeway much. After that, well it's a different story. Dry traction is the most important thing to me and going a little slower when it's wet out is well worth it, imho. Just have enough self control and know the limits and you'll be fine. I will be buying another set.
