[QUOTE="COOL COBRA, post: 16464494, member: 144330"] I've got Toyo's on two cars, one being my GT500. If caught in the rain, I drive like I'm in a high HP car on wet. No crazy maneuvers. Just drive. No problems. On another car in my garage w/drag radials, rain is like ice! Toyo's on wet will get you home just fine if you drive it like a regular car. I've never pushed the limits in rain, that'd be asking for it for no reason. I'm thinking your hop problems could be twofold. 1. Convertible. 2. Your original tires were probably manufactured in 2012. Hard. Plus the Goodyear tire sucked even when new unless you got them near melting hot for traction. I'd bet your OEM tires are hard as glass. When they try to grip and fail, they do the next obvious thing, bounce. Especially if they've been exposed to freezing temps. They get hard as a preachers dick. And now they're 7-8 years old.
