The Nitto 555 Rs are not that bad in the rain as long as you keep your traction on and drive sensibly. The tires don't really last too long but I'm sure you knew that already. If you are looking for a real street tire instead of a Drag Radial, then the Eagle F1 GS-D3 are an excellent choice with good wet weather manners. But you still would have to drive carefully with those gears!
