Be that as it may, the OP was in rain not snow.

I said allegedly because I personally found them workable in RAIN without ANY issues (but I always drive like a Gentleman in low traction scenarios) but thought it prudent to buy all seasons because of some writings in the owners manual.

YMMV.

Getting 180 is either too much gas or not (meaning lifting)...also hitting the turbo boost peak at point of turn-in makes it harder to control.
