I'm no expert with driving in the rain since I'm out in sunny California. In sedans with tires with less tire width. I've typically gone 60-70 with no problems. Would driving at these speeds be okay with a X5 with 214's?

Thanxs for the advice.
as we've all learned from taking our driver's license test, go with the flow of traffic. On a rainy day, i've noticed that traffic is usually no faster than the posted speed limit (except for the one crazy yahoo with a deathwish) and on average, is about 5-10 mph slower than that. also, since we do live in sunny California and don't get that much rain, make sure to drive extra careful during the first rain as the roads are slicker than a normal rainy day because of all the oil that has accumulated.
