With Z rated UHP summer tires, it feels better, but even then I do not take to much risk.

Happy CL-S Pilot
One thing to add, there is a difference between raining days ( roads are still clear) and pooring days (streets got flooded and you hit water puddles), then you would hydroplane on stockies tires...

The stock Goodyear RSAs on my 99 SHO were far better and the new Dunlop 5000s I just put on are better yet.
Perhaps the Michelins will wear out quickly - the quicker the better.
