stock tires, and fish tailing

No tires will save you if you're driving too fast for conditions or your alignment is out of whack. And I'm not sure how you're having the trouble you described with VDC on.

May we ask two important questions to guide you best? - How many years have you been driving, how many/what cars have you owned or driven?

About 2-3 years now, and I've always driven rear posi cars. first car was a BRZ and second obviously the Z. I never had a problem in the rain with the BRZ. Getting the tires put on tuesday or wednesday and will report back about how I like them after the first 100-500 miles.

I guess learn to drive with those tires or get Pss, extreme dw, or potenzas if you want to feel confident in the rain.

As everyone stated good set of tires and proper alignment of your car.
Best of all excercise caution and good logic when driving on wet roads.
Make sure the VDC is on.
Ease up on the gas pedal and listen to GP.

Btw the BRZ is not like anything compared to the Z in terms of hp and torque.
The Z can bite you back like a Doberman the BRZ is a pussy cat. No offense.

In wet conditions, never step on the gas and turn the wheel at the same time. Coast through the turns.

This. VDC can only do so much and it doesn't do much in wet weather:

This is turn 14 at Thunderhill in the wet, at about 45 MPH. VDC on.
