As for grip, understand that this is with temps in the 40's and 35psi front, 44 rear so summer and an adjustment in pressure may cause a change. They are NOT as sticky as the f1's. I have one corner i have taken hundreds of times and it offers me a great test. the f1's could handle it at 59-60, any faster and I would lose the front end. The Nittos come loose at around 57 to 58. The interesting part is the car is better balanced. Front and back lose grip at the same time allowing me to do a fairly controlled 4 wheel drift. What fun! As for rain, I do not know yet but will post thoughts when I can if anyone is interested. The pics online do not show how truly huge the two rain channels are, I can plant my thumb between them.
