<p class="MsoNormal">My experience is that Hoosier rains, in rain, not wet track, produce better straight-line stability, stop better and slide a little less in the turns, but they still slide. In just wet conditions sportsters are all you need especially
if you are accustomed to a “loose” car. Toyo’s don’t come in a 60-profile needed for my car or in a rain tire and I can’t say about them. So I’m not sure rains are worth it unless it is really raining with puddles etc. on the track. Rain Sportsters also
come in a 50 profile and the changes to the set up are apparent. <u></u><u></u></p>
