Nope. Mine hugs the road great even in the rain. Gotta luv AWD. And I even have some questionable Falken tires. They came with it when I bought it so I'm trying to find an alternative to replace them with. I have only felt anything when I hit a pretty deep (huge) puddle the other day.

 

This dude doesn't look like the rain is giving him much trouble:

Are you running the 3 season summer tires on yours? I've heard those aren't very good in anything beyond warm sunny weather. That may be what you are dealing with.

 

Sounds like you have the PZERO summer tires. The general consensus is they suck.

 

Check your tire pressure.
You could try putting it at 30 psi.

 

Wasn't there just a thread on here about how crappy the stock tires are in wet weather?

I am running parada x-spec now, there is an improvement but in a torrential downpower a few weeks ago it was a tad sketchy.

 

People hate the truth, but that doesn't deter me. How fast were you going? 65 max in the rain on such a wide tire. I remember the Vipers hydroplaning at 55 on top of the line Michelin tires. It also had 295s in the front and 335s in the rear. The next viper did it also with 295s/345s.

The wides ass performance tires is the problem. Sure you can put on some cheapo subpar tires that will do better in the rain, but at the expense of a huge reduction in handling. My advice...keep the Pirellis as they are the only proper OEM 20 tire for our vehicles. And stop driving so fast in the rain, especially if you're not on a grooved modern highway.

 

Aside from their weight, I have no complaints about the PZERO 3-season tires. They provide excellent traction under acceleration, cornering, and braking in the dry, and they generate effective grip in the wet.

A driver's use of his vehicle's load transferring controls--the steering wheel, the throttle, and the brake pedal--contributes significantly to the vehicle's behavior in dry and wet conditions.

 

Those P zero run flats are shit.

Get some good quality all season, or some better summer specific performance tires.

Unfortunately there are not a lot of choices in our stock size.

 

P zero are good in the dry. Not so much in the rain and experienced the same feeling riding through some decent amount of rain. They are pretty wide too so thats always an issue with wider tires. Even in snow good luck haha. If you have a winter go smaller size.
