Woohoo! Another great day in the rain. I love the S03s! 
I hit some heavy rain between Cupertino and Palo Alto. The car felt fine going 75 to 80 mph through the hills on 280 and the tires felt right at home in the water. 
Dry performance is great too. I can't tell a difference between the S03 and the S02 yet...

I'm still wearing toyo RA-1s, I had no problem getting to work. Just need to take it nice and easy, allow extra room for braking and be prepared for the unexpected drift or hydroplane.

OEM S02s. 101 SF south. Pouring rain. No troubles at all. As Josh says, you just have to be prepared (and leave a little extra room in front of you).
Oh... and you can go top down (even if it's pissing down rain) as long as you've got the windows up and don't drop below 80MPH. Grin...

No trouble here.....Toyota Tacoma 4x4 today to go 5 miles to work! Yeah, the "S" was nice and cozy in the garage! I am selling my truck but until then the S sits in the garage when it's wet. My S02's aren't looking too good and I wouldn't want to take it out in the rain unless I really had too.
