so i slid off the road today, cause the Advans RULE in a heavy downpour, anyways, Annialate my front bumper, tore my APR splitter off. Wasnt to much damage other then dirt all over the car. the Splitter survived its one tough item. I cracked the drivers side of my front bumper, need to replace the bumper. The splitter is bolted to the underside of that little lip on the front bumper, it completely tore that littel factory lip thingy off. Anyone know where i can get a nice JDM Evo IX front bumper ... haha .....

 

wow suxs. Tryin to push the car in the rain wit stock advan eh?

 

U NEED AN FRONT LSD! My Tires are Balled and when I hit it in the rain I can still steer but the back end is trying to get in front of the car. Also with our wide tires its easy to hydroplain, its not fun @ all.

 

Whao wait, please someone clarify. Our advans are not good for rainy season? Sorry for the newb question, but this is news to me.

 

wasnt even pushing it that much i was onyl doing about 25 if that, just to high of a gear in the corner, when i got back onto it a little bit the torgue was just there, and around i went!

 

I wasn't aware of this either. Mine have always performed wonderfully in the rain, but not in the snow. Actually, it's not so much the snow as it is the fact that they get really hard when it's cold and become ice skates. I haven't had any problems in the rain, though, and that includes today's downpour.

 

Please keep in mind guys, im talking about rainin cats and dogs rain, not just a wet road with a little sun shower, it was like Noah was getting ready to load up the arc again.

 

Ohhhh, that doesn't happen often in sunney California, so I don't think I have to worry too much. However, the idea that it slides on wet surfaces still isn't settling well with me.

 

if it was raining that bad? maybe u should have drived slow? I mean if u drived carefully, i guarantee 100% that u would have never gotten in an accident.

 

advans are great in the rain, in the snow they are as bad as any street tire made. I know that is not the point of the thread, sorry about the accident.

 

Im sorry but I cant go back to them advans I hydroplained everywhere with thoughs tires. WET Traction was Cool but Hydroplain Resistents sucks.

 

I wasnt going that fast, please read the thread completly before posting. i was barely over the speedlimit for a School zone. Just bad circumsances and ****ty luck.

 

down here in hurricane land, err....tropical storm land. we had lots and lost of rain. i had absolutely no problem cutting through water with them last night and this morning


but there also rather new. 2500 miles

 

Ya..my advans work pretty good in wet weather...ofcourse when i floor it and cut the wheel...it does loose control rather easy..but that's just fun

 

That's rough...

These thing do hydroplane pretty badly. I was driving in very heavy rain, with alot of water on the highway, enough that you could see the rain coming down on the road in little splashes. I was going 80 and it was very dicey. At 65 it was even a little unsure, I never lost it though, it just felt very floaty, and yes, too fast for conditions.

Kind of an odd question but are snow tires good in rain, I'd think they would be as they have very deep tread?
