Smile wet road and tires

Littlewave, one of my Cobra buddies has MT's on his Cobra. 600 hp with 15" tires. Great when the road is dry, not so when it wet. We drive year round and we do get caught in the rain sometimes. I want my Cobra to get me home in the rain so I think I can give up a little dry traction for a little wet road traction.
Drove 70 miles in the rain on the interstate with Mike and his MT's in front of me. I could stop a lot better than he could in the rain. BUT we both made it home.
