On black top just started to rain. Went to turn and nothing happened but slid. Tap the brakes a couple times to try and get traction. These tires are worst then super swampers I could get traction with them.

They have no traction in the rain. Take a look at their tread pattern sometime and you'll see why.

Sorry for the loss. I guess hindsight is always 20-20 and it pays to research the stuff you're putting on to make sure it's going to work for what you're going to do with it.
