Default Performance: Falken Azenis Sport in rain

Hey everyone,

For anyone that "has" had experience with the Falken Azenis Sport, would you please describe them to me. Please elaborate on how they perform in the rain at various tread depths. I am thinking about purchasing them but is a little skeptical because the majority of the people say they are horrible in the rain. Thanks.

They are FINE in the rain until about 4mm of tread at 70mph. I've run these tires since they first came out 3-4 years ago. Of course any tire is going to suck around 4mm of tread.

People who tell you they suck in the rain don't tell you they have bald tires.

I've had a few wet weather autocross runs on them, in various tread depths. They grip just fine.
