Regatta 2 or Ecsta 711

alright so i have my 17 inch tenzo r's with kumho ecsta 711s right now
and i just want to say they SUCK. hahahah at least when they are wet.

i have my stock steelies with regatta 2's on them was wondering if anyone had experience with these in wet conditions and if they are better than the 711's when wet.

regatta 2 sucks in the rain. or maybe it's just my driving style, but still. they suck in the rain.

when im coming out of a street and theres water in the gutter if the 711's are wet and i make the turn they peel out for about 4 seconds then they finally grab and i end up cutting off the guy driving in the perpendicular street. it sucks i hate it
plus it makes a lot of noise and people stare at me

The gas pedal isn't on/off. Usually you can control wheelspin with your right foot. Or start in 2nd.

4bangin is an unknown quantity at this point
upgrade to the 712's....they arent much more and they handle well in the rain until they wear out. i have had 2 sets of 712s and they were decent. i got bf goodridge kdw's now and they are freaking rediculiously (sp?) awsome in the rain but they are a bit more than kumhos.
