Try driving stock Yokos with no tread......That's when driving in the rain sucks. I never had any problems in the rain other than that.
Winter time is a different story: Sliding around; oh what fun! I still want to try winter tires, maybe better. I wonder if a rear sway bar will make it better in the snow? Cause I have mine sitting in my trunk with my lowering springs. I figured I can use the 35-40 lbs for weight in the snow.

LOL no matter what tires you have if they ahve no tread they are gonna suck anywhere especially in wet conditions. when you have no more tread left get new tires then driving in the rain will be fun.

The worst was when I was driving from LA to San Fran on the 5 when it started to pour out of no where, I switched over to the slow lane to slow down and I hydroplaned across 2 lanes. I think I may have suffered a small heart attack after gaining control of my car lol.

So I see the rear sway bar is getting a few recs. Maybe I'll it installed when I take it in for a oil change

I just got my tc and the last week its been snowing or raining. I have no problems. Now i wouldn't mine lowering car and getting sway bars to help with the handling, But to the OP is just driver error., lean how to drive or maybe you need a torque less wonder. Maybe buy a DX civic and call it a day.
