Will I die? Drag Radials in the Rain

If they have a DOT number, they are required to be able to be used in the rain.
I have a pair of et street radial pro's, and they have a dot. I might some day get caught in the rain with them but there is NO WAY im starting out on a trip in the rain with them, dot or not! A few thumb sized voids, not a single groove, dangerous as a set of slicks in the rain, and a 700hp 540 in front of them? Not happening.
