Have since looked at some actual reviews and it seems like a recurring complaint, bloody dangerous in the wet

I had STT's on a souped up Hilux in SA.

Was fantastic off road but many was the time I nearly planted in the back of a beemer or somesuch when coming up to backed up traffic at traffic lights after some rain.

Was like driving on glass when the year was wet.
