I agree, the RE050 (MY04-05) feel fine on wet. Nonetheless, I think that safe driving is driving within "the limits", a combination of car's condition, road, traffic patterns, weather, driver's skills and conditions, who is driving around you, available time-and-space, etc. As for the tires, I guess it would be nice to have two sets of wheels, one more gripping and the other for the wet!

Ha that blows, I'm prob gonna be trading in my a4 cabriolet for s2k.
It doesn't matter for me when it rains, I drive it like if it wasn't raining.
That scares me that since I'm so used to driving like that in the rain and
if I do get the s2k and yikes~~~!!! Doesn't look too purdddy

S-02's + standing water + 70 or greater mph = fishtailing.
If you have the skill to recover from fishtailing at 70 mph, good for you. The problem is, after reading the forum's for two year's now, most people do not.

For the two gentleman that think the other's need to learn to drive their automobile's in the rain, I don't think you have driven on S-02's in standing water at speed's of 70+ mph.
"I think this advice fits perfectly. Anyone doing 70+ mph in standing water with a RWD sports car needs to learn how to drive in the rain, or may I say, just slow the f$%^ down! Just my .02.

With S03's, you'll drive like Senna or Montoya in the rain.

Slow down and keep a safe distance from the car on front on the slippery roads, highway or surface streets.
