Highway radials on the drives are very bad on slick surfaces with no load on the rear axle. They will hydroplane in the rain if you have to brake semi-hard, and tend to "hop" on wet streets when you let the clutch out starting off on even slight upgrades.

Change to a medium lug type tread on the rears. Lugs make a real big difference. Of course lugs fill up with mud so they don't help as much in that situation. Then you need weight on the rear.
