Default run-flats in the rain

hello sc430 guys.

SoCali has been pouring since yesterday! The torrential rain got me thinking our very first call-- safety!! I know for drivers who commute with smaller cars like civic or corolla, when they go wading on the road, the cars shake, steering wheels jerked and they gotta hang on to life dearly!

So question now,
How are those run-flats performing for you guys? equally the same? can't feel a thing?

well i am in norcal with sc430 and stock setup (even runflat), so i can tell you more coz' it's been raining even worse here.

the car is still very very stable in the rain, nothing seriously, i don't feel any vibration or jerk or anything at all, just normal driving

granted though, the handling is a bit loose comapred to dry, mostly coz' these tires aren't the max perforrmance i got on my gs4. but i am surprised at how well the runflat handles in the rain already

the dunlop runflats on my '03 millenium silver works like a charm.
It's only seen rain twice and both those times were road trips down to SoCal.

they grip like glue and the headlights cut thru the fog like butter.

tell me about it, it's been soooo damn cold up here, keeping the top down is just simply out of the question!
