be safe with the kids.
change to 245 tyres then it will be harder to spin.
I went out last night to pick up the kids and it was raining and the tyres did there job very well, no slide or wheel spin.

they are safe in their super baby seats and more importantly in my hands 
in general, fatter the tyres, the easier to aquaplane but of course the tread pattern is an important factor for wet performance
ps, dont trust the dtc w your life, I tried and had to lift in order to bring the rear end back in

given its the first interview and there was hardly any time for the kid to settle in, it went well I think. hard to predict the result though, there are so many applicants this year, it will be worse next year.
its a big kudo to bmw on the cars safe handling, in older design, lifting in the middle of a power slide would usually result in a pigeon spin.
