Simple, don't put the pedal to the metal when it's raining, and wear lighter shoes.

How do your tires look, are the treads worn down to resemble slicks? Or it could be that your tires just don't handle rain well. And when the roads are dry, grime, oil, tire rubber etc. gets embedded into the pavement. Then the first rain makes the roads slicker than ****e.

How wide are your front tires? The wider they are, the more they'll pull one direction or the other. Depends on a lot of things, it could be that the road has a larger depression on one side so the water is slightly deeper on that side. It also helps to get tires designed for wet weather, some are dry road only and suck in the rain.

It also depends on what type of rearend you have...an open differential or a posi/limited slip. On slick pavement with an open diff., the right rear tire will break free and spin. With a posi, both tires can break free and the rear of the car will want to pass up the front.
