Message	I got stuck out in the rain with them a few weekends ago, and there was one time that made me think for half a second that they were "bad" in the wet. And the same would have been said for any tire I've ever driven, so eh. I heard nothing but terrible things about the XS in the wet, but after driving 100+ miles in and just after the rain, I have to say I disagree completely. I wasn't driving like a grandma either - I actually picked up the pace a bit just to see how bad they really were in the rain. Keep in mind that I'm not running 275s.
