Well, I disagree with that. I Live in Lake Tahoe and we get our share of rain
and snow. I've had no problems in the rare occasion I get caught coming home
in the poor weather. I never go out of my way to put the Healey in wet wather
due ton rust. They actually do well in snow not being a mud/snow tire.
