My advice, even if you’re driving 1.5 miles from your house (like I was) and it’s below 50 degrees and the road is wet, SWAP YOUR REAR TIRES !!!!

I got caught driving home one day in a (figurative) monsoon, and even without the "R" version of the tires I felt the rear tires get a little squirrelly once. Snow/ice mode, a little lift, and a little correction got it back on track, but I definitely slowed down another 10mph after that.
I'll get another summer out of these Goodyears, then probably swap them for some Continental ExtremeContact Sports for those rare times I do get caught out in the rain.
Glad it's working out for you.
