Don't purchase the NITTO 460-version. Suck in the rain and no good for
traction-meaning burnouts and corners. hehehehehehe

Part is the torque of the R/T and the other part is the crappy Badyear
tires. New tires will definitely help out, but won't eliminate all your
troubles.

I have the Nitto 404 Extreme Force SUV (or something like that) in 255/55/18
and I'm happy with the wet traction. I've only tested it around town, but
they definitely grip a lot better than the stock tires. I've yet to test
them on the highway during a downpour, but they have to better than
hydroplaning on the Goodyear's.
