Is it the consensus of the list that Vreds are not good in the rain?
I had the distinct impression I was hydoplaning on a trip through the Olympic Peninsula returning from a meet in Vancouver BC last summer. This was at speeds of 50-60 mph on 3 year-old Vred 165s during heavy rain in the rainforest. Others in the group didn't seem to have the problem.
Thanks for comments and observations,
Charlie

Any ideas for 185/70-R15 or 185R tires? Anything besides Vredestein (they're good tires, just wondering if there's anything else available)?

Good sources?

TIA,
Bob
