Wow!=20

Looks like you needed a set of snow tires!

I remember well the Hoosier Dirt Stockers.  Chuck Noonan set a track =
record in the rain at the old Bryar track using those!  After that, =
everyone had to have them!

Thanks for the tip about looking beyond our traditional tire sources.

What's the best rain tire?=20

I'm bewildered by the choices of R compound treaded street tires, pure =
rain tires, or something in between?

I run a '65 TR4A built to '76 GCR rules with 7 inch rims.  For dry I am =
using Hoosier TDRs

Your thoughts/experience, please!
