Tires for rain

Never had any issues in the rain with mine by staying at the speed limit. Even F1 drivers slow down when it rains.

Are you required to own a truck due to your work? Or are you into snowmobiling or dirt biking?

I own a truck because it's practical for home improvement projects, taking trash to the landfill, and driving in the snow(and rain). The better question would be, "why do you own a Z?" The answer to that is: because it's fun!

I do all that in a 2001 RAV-4.

Doubt anyone here would ask you why you own a”Z”.

To each their own. My wife has an SUV. I would rather have a truck than a second SUV.

What does that matter at all?

So what. What does any of that have to do with his issue

Sound like chit roads. I've found a few that puddle in the wheel path and make the car dance a bit. Other than that I've not had any serious hydroplaining issues aside from getting caught out with worn tires

Big, wide Michelin Cup tires make things interesting at speed in the wet.
