I remember some years ago a buddy of mine put a set of 12" slicks on his T. A few weeks later our hotrod club was having a picnic at a nearby state park. About the time we were packing up to leave, it started to rain lightly. Ten miles or so into the 35 mile trip home, he hit a puddle and spun off the road. Didn't hit anything and no harm done. A few miles further down the road, it had started raining harder and the same thing happened again! After that he was really "pussy footing" along; rear tires hydroplaning at the least little puddle. Just a few miles from home, it happened a third time. He was very lucky; three times and no damage. The following day he took the slicks off and had a set of Mickey Thompsons mounted...

Moral of the story: rain and slicks don't mix. Be careful on the trip up, Don.
