wet traction

i just bought toxxin's and with them i bought 215-40-18 yokohama a520's... i just nearly killed myself taking a turn in the wet. i had no idea they had such s h i t t y traction. and what about abs i thought it was supposed to stop you from skidding and spinning. i finally came to a stop after about 180 degrees and nearly hitting like 4 people. anyways next time i'll remember to get parada's for their wet traction.

bobbyd is an unknown quantity at this point
abs will do nothing for spinning and skidding.....abs will only work when stopping, notflying around corners.

you should have got some parada spec-2's... I can drive on wet roads just like i do on dry ones with mine. The wet grip is amazing!
