I have always thought it's cozy when it rains or when it's dark, or both, and even more so when I have a car that handles well :>

I've been slowly pushing the limits of the car and I've found it very hard to lose much grip on wet pavement. This thing really holds on. Much better than my old stupidru.

Ever since I put the DWS's on, it is hard to tell, from a balance standpoint, whether the road is wet or not. I always felt something was going to give with the stock Advans, but the new tires just bring out a whole new level of confidence in the car.

Look at the average lap times and average cornering forces in the WET for the DWS's. It's performance in the WET is nearly the same as dry.

Then look at the slalom time and braking distance. It slaloms FASTER and brakes HARDER in the WET than dry. If that's not a typo, then it's one hell of an achievement.
