Can someone tell me how these tires perform in the rain?

They perfom well in rain. I have a pair of Gatorskins on my rain bike (waterproof panniers) and have not had a problem with traction. They are fabulous tires..!!

I have had not problems with these in the rain. I have drove at night in very hard rain recently and they did well.

Track and road conditions, these tires are superb. I haven't had an issue with them speed wise. Offroad, however, is a different story as I haven't taken them off roading. The most I've done with them is take them down a dirt path for maybe a tenth of a mile and there was a noticeable increase in resistance. Moreover, the tread situation is geared for road conditions so traction on the dirt was an issue. However, as I said, I only used them for a tenth of a mile on a tame dirt path so you may want to look around for a better issue or tire if offroading is a must or if it is anything more taxing than a simple path.

I bought several and rain doesn't seem to be a problem. I have replaced 3 in about 10 months out of 32 along driveway.

Very safe. I've never had a problem cruising down the highway through the rain. I'm going on my third set of these tires considering I can afford them.

I have mine on the front of a custom chopper 6 inches of the road in Florida, and try as I may it rains here and it has been fine. I don't think you can get a better test than a Thunder storm in Florida at 70 MPH, O and the front tire spins the rain right onto it no issues at all. PS this thing is dam bright. as in I can see through stuff. (cars, people, its like xray)

Hi Jeff, I don't have a lot of experience with these tires in the snow. They are on my Daughter's car who is away at school and the car has not been out in the snow this year.Sorry I could not be more help.

I think they are surprisingly fast on pavement. They also perform well in gravel and on fire trails. Mud I doubt, and cornering in wet pavement is not great. Grass is no problem, and sticks no problem i would think. They are versatile in my opinion, but its not a mountain bike tire nor a road tire, its in the middle ground, good at many things but not great at 1. Hope that helps.

They will work great! I have owned them for a year now. Have used them in sand, snow, mud and everything in between. They are not the best tires for riding on pavement. I have a Rincon 680 and when mine wear down. I will buy these tires again.

Yes -- Good traction in all around conditions too -- Haven't got stuck yet it's been a year now .I live in N.W.Alaska and they have seenAlot of action . I was pleased with the price& performance of these tires.

about to find out in a couple weeks :)i don't have high hopes for them, offroad tires aren't usually that great for snow. i prefer to use actual winter tires, like my bridgestone blizzaks. i bought these Nittos as a summer set.

Really don't remember. I remember seeing the same thing you just mentioned. I can tell you i have had them for over a year and they are performing fine. I ride a mountain bike in the street with hybrid tires

No, they would be pretty dangerous in ice or rain. These tires are very narrow with the center being pretty much a slick. I love these tires but when it is wet I ride my mountain bike with Serfas Drifter 29X2.0 tires. This is a great tire in the rain and has a street, not a mountain, tread. I leave my road bike with the Vittoria's at home.

They are pretty much all season. If you live in the south. We had major snow in NC this year and they did fine. But, keep in mind these are not snow tires. They do ok in the rain , but these things are a mud tire that can be street driven.

Mine are on a race car trailer and they get rain, dust, dirt and wind. They have held up very well!

I am certain about weather resistance. I have used them many times in the rain. I don't know how well they would do if submerged, but I have never even had a glitch in rainy conditions, both walking and riding motorcycle.

Hi! Yes they are great! Mine stayed on through 80 mile per hr. speeds! Heavy rain and ice as well... Definitely recommend!
