Finally got my Agilis 61's wet,wet,wet Thursday night during a long overdue
rainstorm here in Arkansas.  Intentionally ran the Vanagon through the
deepest water I could. Finally  hit one huge low spot  with God knows how
deep a puddle and the right front tire slid slightly.  Since this was at 2AM
and the I was driving into the storm,  slowly pushed the speed up to 70 mph
in the brief part of the heavy stuff once I got on the interstate heading
home from work.  These are definitely rain-friendly tires.


On a scale of 1-10, these tires are a definite 10 for a 90GL with stock
wheels that never goes off road but frequently sees gravel roads.  The van
will never look lowered and cool, but then a stock looking Vanagon is less
likely to get broken in to.
