Diesel Gladiator manners on wet roads?

[Pescatoral Pursuit]

Imagining they are very nose heavy and with Florida downpours making hydroplaning a thing, what can you say about your experiences in these conditions?

The expressway I live off of is particularly treacherous and after a good rain it's not unusual to see 1 or 3 cars on the median wall within 5-6 miles.

Back end never gets squirrelly at speed?

Mine did when I was running the stock 245's, heck it would get silly on dry pavement. Now that I've upgraded to 285 that's less of an issue, better traction and requires more effort from the engine to break that traction.

I have no issues.

I didn't have any issues with the stock Rubi tires (Wildpeak A/T'S), and have since upgraded to 35" KO2's. I'm cautious as needed, but typically hold the speed limit during heavy downpours. It's been great for me.

During heavy rains you are not in the throttle like that at higher speeds. I was very comfortable in my last vehicle in bad weather. I have a heavy foot and the JT seems just as stable as my last.. I have no concerns tho the JT is not my daliy driver, I have put 10k miles in 10 months.. I like driving it!
Added the banks tuner last week and thats not helping me stay out of the seat!
