I've heard that the new Gen 2 tires that come with the Select Ride option are not very good in the rain and wear down quite quickly. How true is this ? Please give me any information from your experiences with these tires. I'm have an option to buy a 2011 GS with this option but I will never use the Select Ride but I will drive in the rain. What do you think.
The original car I was getting on a dealer trade may not go through so this car may be what my next option will be.
Thanks for the help,
DFA
