I've noticed this a bit more now in the summer, It could be the stupid stock Turanzas, however I noticed it the other night, and scared the hell out of me.. I was just accelerating straight and I didn't hit more than 30-40mph (light rain)and felt rear swing around a bit, so I let off the gas, but my slip night didn't even blink once!

Has this happend to anyone else?

 

I'm deadly serious, man. Turanzas and ANY amount of rain don't mix. Don't die. Buy new tires. The turanzas are a ****ing deathtrap in the rain. I spun out many times on the turanzas and yes, they hydroplane at very low speeds. The VDC didn't even have a chance to react (on any of the occasions) and the worst time, my wife and I were plowing toward the oncoming lane of traffic at 60mph, rear end first, with no power steering, no ABS, no VDC and fresh stains in our pants. (Lost the engine when we rotated the first time - I didn't get to the clutch quickly enough) ...Luckily I bogged down in deep mud and came to a stop.

Look at the tread pattern and try to explain to yourself where the water goes when the tire is rolling. They're horrible.

 

I have Goodyears on my 05 6mt and they do extremely well in the rain. I was driving home in some serious mansoon weather the other day and actually had a hard time getting the car to slip on purpose.
