Default Mickey Thompson Street Radial Drag Tires

Im looking to pick up a set of Mickey Thompson street radial drag tires and I was curious about how bad my car will handle in the rain with them on. Are they ONLY meant to be used in dry hot weather, or can you drive in wet weather too? Can someone recommend a good set of tires that are just as good as street radials, but can also be used in all types of weather?

Seriously? That whole genre of tire is an excuse so you don't have to change out wheels at the track and/or you will not get pulled over by the police for not having tread on illegal race days. If driving ANY street-legal barely-has-tread tire in the rain, be exceedingly cautious.
