R35 GTR tyres - no grip in the wet?

[Guffy]

Good friend has a R35 GTR and traction in the wet is pretty poor. I've just been reading about one written off in Aberdeen. I know the slip road in question, it can be taken quite fast, but he's quite adamant that it just slid out from under him into a truck, conditions were wet, but he wasn't gunning it.

So, anyone else think the tyres are not suitable for winter driving? (Asking on behalf of my friend really, although i do love the car)

Winter Tyres? If no then there lies the problem.
