Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R tires ????

Hi guys
Im wanting to know if there is anybody running MT Sportsman S/R 12" or wider on the streets just want to know how are they in the rain?
I'm going with a 20x12 on the back of my DD & love the look of these tires.
Thank you for looking & your time

I'm running the M/T DOT Streets for comparison. (15x12 rims)
In a mist or light wetness they are fine, pretty much what you'd expect from a performance summer tire w/ almost no tread pattern. If there is standing water or really raining, they are safe in a straight line, to about 55mph.

I've done almost 14k miles on these tires, which in itself is insane. I drove the truck on these tires during the gale storm we had this summer (watch the Roadkill episode thats in Milwaukee for Car Craft), and a good driver can get the truck anywhere it NEEDS to be. I would generally avoid using them in the rain if possible.

That's going to be impossible this is my DD :-/
Is there a good tire for a 20x12 wheel you can recommend?

I don't think we are talking about the same tire the M/T Sportsman S/R is the latest design with the deep thread flame design?
