.....yes I also got 'caught' in the rain once with Mickey Thompson wrinkle wall drag slicks. Not a fun thing to drive on & myself being older & a little {but not much} wiser I probably wouldn't do that again. But these wouldn't be as bad as wrinkle wall slicks.... So I'm going to go for it..... I'd like to Thank everyone for all the replys. It's great to have a bunch of knowledgeable car guys/gals to run my ideas by. At least now I see that I won't have any unforseen problems running these {yeah only FORSEEN problems}..... Bill
