3) What is the air temp there now?

4) Check you tire pressures. Tire shops usually over inflate tires. You might get better grip with tire pressure adjustments.
certainly all good stuff to check, but if you had to slow down to 35mph to feel safe, your toe is tweaked. with excessive toe, your tires are either pointed toward each other or away from each other. when it rains, the decreased grip allows one or both tires to drag a bit rather than roll. this causes instability particularly in the rain. very uneasy feeling.
