There was a post a couple of weeks ago, (I could not find it) regarding the Si slipping on a wet road with the Goodyear All Season tires. It started to rain here in Northern California on Wednesday after a about a year of no rain with a couple of major storm systems coming thru, so I got a chance to see if this was a problem or not. I can say that I had no issues with slipping, either at take off or hitting corners. There is an area near my work that is wide open and pretty deserted where you can hit some left turns at high speeds safely (if you lose control or the car skids there is nothing you will hit), and the car handled impressively with very little skidding.
I can personally say that although the BFGoodrich tires on my Camry and Sienna handle wet road conditions much better, the Goodyears did a good job. If there was any slippage at all, traction control kept things safe. I am impressed on how the Si handles wet conditions, but in my experience fwd cars do a pretty good job on wet surfaces, traction control or not...although I have had issues with fwd on icy, slippery roads, mostly when it comes to taking off from a complete stop
