Would these be any good in the rain? I doubt they are but I figured I would ask.

Im looking for a set of rain track tires in 225/45/17 so that would be great if they are good in the rain. Most likely I will end up getting some summer tires in that size that are good in the rain.

^^ Well they have tread so they would be better in the rain than a "slick" but not as good as a real "rain" tire. I think they would be fine for a wet track or wet autoX as long as there was no standing water. Heavy rain and standing water would need a real "rain" tire. On the plus side, once the tread is worn down you can run them as dry tires.
