Id have to second this. My RSA's have pretty good thread life left and last night it was a bit wet out. I didnt touch the gas too hard and my wheels spun -- I got the traction control message and didnt move much. Is it really these wheels or the 303Hp front wheel drive is just too much for wet weather?

It's really the RSAs. On my summer rims I have a more performance oriented tire and I do not spin on wet ground unless I'm trying to.

On the winter rims I have the RSA (until the tread is gone enough to purchase strictly winter tires) and I spin those constantly.
