This is disconcerting to say the least, as I live in the Pacific NW where we get lots of rain. That's why I had the Conti DW's on my roadster. I had heard good things about the V12s in the wet, but maybe that's only on fresh tires? Anyone else have good/bad experience with V12s or PSS's in the rain?

By the way, this forum is amazing! Thanks for all the fast feedback!

Edit: Just read some more reviews on TireRack, and others describe the same problems with the V12s--horrendous wet performance at lower tread levels. Looks like I'm trashing the current set and getting DW or PSS.
