Wow...poor Z . And I have to feel bad for the driver too. Wish the video had shown leading up to the crash!

I dunno. I've never had Falken tires. Now I do have a set of Michelin Pilot Sport AS/3s. They actually do very well in the wet. And trust me, if there is a place for plenty of wet driving, it's Florida.
