With enough rain most any car get get a bit loose but if you are still on OEM tires, let alone < 1/2 tread I am not that surprised. The OE Sport Bridgestones were meh in rain at 1/2 tread or less. Newer S03's have *much* better rain performance, though it still pays to slow down

When I drove from TX to CA, I got like 28MPG, and I drove a bit in town, and there was more than one time that I decided to park it in the middle of the freeway to test the 0-60. (The freeway way DEAD, I could've done a top speed run, but I didn't) and I think I was going about 80MPH most of the way as well
