sorry for the newbish questions!
This car and the stock tires work fine in the rain if you leave the nannys on and especially if you don't drive like an idiot, I live in the very wet PNW and have had no issues, here was a very wet drive not long ago on a very twisty road, I had no slides, no scares and actually enjoyed being smooth with it:

TL;DR the RWD, nannies and stock tires are fine in the rain as long as you don't drive like an idiot.
