Hey, how do you drive when wet?

My wife's 2021 X3 so my M2 stays clean

It rains a lot in Seattle. Even our track days may be held during the rain.

My PS4Ss handle great in the rain. So I just drive normally though I do give more distance for stopping.

In addition to DanG’s approach, I also keep in mind the slight potential for hydroplaning that might be just around each bend. And during rainy times I treat the overall speed of traffic on the freeway as something far more sacrosanct, rather than as a “mere guideline.”

Someday, I’d like to find a big open space and try WilsonKop’s approach!

I drive my wife's CX-5.

Unless your tires are bald, same way you do when its dry...

[P4rD0nM3]

Serious answer here. Like a normal person—which means extra careful. Always.

[///MPhatic]

Like a damn hooligan.

I won't drive in the wet until I get my Cup2s...

As long as your tires are in good shape, like with any other car, you drive more carefully. Some people like to lower tire pressure a bit (2 or 3 psi).

I see you pointed out that’s a manual transmission, I actually feel that’s easier (and safer) than a FWD on wet roads.

If you’re on stock PSS tires and you’re either not comfortable in the wet or just want to feel more safe regardless, then consider keeping traction control on. No MDM and no DSC OFF. That being said, PSS and even more so, PS4S, are incredible summer tires in the wet. If you’re comfortable then it shouldn’t matter as you should be aware of the implications of a heavy foot in the wet regardless of how “good” a tire may be. I’m on Hankook RS4s (aside from winter) which are very good in the wet for a 200tw tire but I rarely if ever put it in DSC OFF in the rain during a so called non-closed course drive.

Besides that, avoid standing water due to potential hydroplaning, and just keep a normal safe distance behind the car in front of you for visibility purposes and enough room for hard braking in case you need it.

Track day or weekend blast, full DSC off. Commute to work, comfort mode “most” of the time until I find a good on/ off ramp to slide around.

265 square Hankook RS4s in the summer (fairly good in wet) and 255/275 Michelin Alpin PA4 in the winter months.

Man, that is the perfect turn for drifting lol. Sick video!

[CalAcacian]

Just like normal 95% of the time. The only difference is when its wet enough I'll go from sport + to DSC off and do a few drifts or otherwise let the wheels spin a bit. The PS4S is a great wet tire and I basically don't change my driving habits besides being more careful of other drivers in the rain.

Exactly what I do!

If its wet on public roads I drive carefully in comfort or sport, I have little faith in my ability not to send the car in to a pole...

[MarlboroM2C]

I don't drive her in bad weather if I can avoid it. I use my 02 Jeep GC. It doesn't handle the rain as well.

[Suds]

My M2c has Nitto NT01’s on it.
I drive it in the wet until there is standing water and then go find a bar to wait it out.

For rain days I will drive on PS4S tires and they are a great track day street tire.

Why?

[Jamongkad]

Just did a wet track day at Thunderhill West CCW last 12/10. I drove with the stock 788M's with Michelin's on. I wasn't going for lap times so I pointed people by until I had enough space between myself and my run group. Switched off traction control and drove with MDM on. Most fun I've had on the track!

The car can be fun in the wet in a parking lot with some space to get playful. My F87 is more a spoiled princess. I don't really want all the muck up in there that wetness brings.....
