Hi Eric. I have Vre Classic Sprint's on my BJ8 and my E-Type. Have driven in
the rain -- although not at high speed, and have seen no difference between
their holding ability from the Mich tires that preceeded them. I have found
them to be excellent riding, handling and driving tires--the Vre Classic Sprint.
