I was driving in very similar conditions to yours, while driving on Michelin PSS'. Rear end just came out from behind and swung around, never hit the gas or brakes, and VDC never yelled at me.
I had a bald rear which I didn't realize until I had it on a lift afterwards surveying the damage. Prior to that incident though, I am a believer of Michelin PSS's gripping ability in the wet/dry. I will be ordering another set next summer. You won't go wrong with them, even for daily use as that's what mine is for. Great treadlife. My fronts are still on a year later.
