Many folks with PS2s over on the M3 section found that out, much to their chagrin, last winter. Rain + cold = wreck. For example, I found PS2s to be fine in the rain at 50-60 degrees; same with the Star Specs. But running in colder temps is just asking for trouble based on the sad experience of others. So, are you looking for cold wet weather tire advice or warm wet weather tire advice?
Do you know where the thread is for the M3 folks' problems. I searched the forum and couldn't find it.
