We had heavy rain follow by mix of sleet and snow and rain last night and had no problems.

I think it's the driver.

The G can get a bit tail happy if you get too aggressive with early throttle in a turn, but it depends also on road conditions, tire pressures and condition of your rear tires. Even if they have sufficient tread, grip will be affected by tire age and exposure to ozone; if they are worn or old, they get more brittle and won't grip very well. If the rear pressures are too high or fronts too low, grip can be reduced as well.

I had a really bad feeling of unstable grip in the rears when i first put my snow tires on, but had an alignment done that fixed it.

The long story is the car was put on a frame machine 2 days after putting the snows on, "to hold the car steady while pulling out a dent in the bodywork." Then the body shop supposedly did an alignment. It would feel wobbly after this, and was worst in the rain or snow. After the alignment, I haven't noticed it since.

If your rears are worn bad, this is definitely causing the problem. Hankoooooooks!

Are you serious, SLICK doesn't leave the garage when it rains! I did get caught in a down poor last Easter coming home from Santa Barbara without issues....except a having a filthy ride the next day.

Rain/no trouble

Many factors, the main thing is slow down.
