===========================
Yes, with full tread the Toyos are EXCELLENT in the rain. From what I've
heard I believe that they're almost as good as the Hoosier Dirt Stockers.
And cheaper too. They are also quite possibly the best (full tread) R tire
for standing water racing conditions since they actually have a water
dissipating tread design like street tires.
My next set of tires will be Kumhos though. Just to try a "faster" tire.
See you on course.
