I don't have a problem with mine unless I romp on it! But just regular driving if I'm careful it doesn't give me any problems. But if I do get on it i'm sideways instantly!

First off never go to that tire shop again they are full of sh*t. What size tires are you running? I bet there are TONS of choices for you. I know even an odd size like my rears (295-35-18) there are at least 3 choices for me. What is your tire size, ill see what i can find.

I find rain to be the worst driving, worse than snow and ice. I understand what you're saying, I accidently spun out because I wasn't paying attention after a thunderstorm.

I've been driving Camaros for 6 years or so now and I've learned in the rain to let the car just drive itself from a stop then gently give it gas. My tires are totally bald so I can even spin on dry ground now. Almost time to throw the winters on.

My advice to you is just take it easy. In the rain/snow/ice you shouldn't be doing anything more than easy driving unless you're on a closed course or an empty parking lot.
