I've heard great things about Yokohama Parada Spec-2 tires from some of my civic driving friends. Maybe you guys have heard about these.

- Much, much, MUCH better grip in the wet. They're as good in the wet as they are in the dry. The Potenzas had a nasty tendency to hydroplane at high speeds.

S03s are like glue in the rain!

And plus you are not supposed to drive like a maniac when it's raining. Any tire will hydroplane at a certain speed. Why would you want to drive over 70mph in the rain anyway?

That's what I don't understand. Who the hell needs to go over 70 mph. It may not push out as much water as the S-03's but they are comparable IMO. And the Azenis are much better in the rain if you don't believe me get a set and you will be amazed

From EVO magazine, testing a Focus ST170 with 8 max performance tires:
"The Bridgestone (which placed 7th) fell flat on its face in both timed and subjective wet handling categeories. The Bridgestone provoked an instant response from both drivers in the wet, Harrison criticising it for "a general lack of grip" while Meaden simply said "nasty, with major power understeer and severe lift-off oversteer." The car looked visibly unsettled from the outside, too."
The Dunlop won wet handling subjective and timed. The Goodyear GS-D3:
"(In the wet)progressive, predictable, with exploitable oversteer" and "good grip, very predictable".
The S-03 sucks in the rain for its price. It's SPECTACULAR in the dry, but those are facts and quantified opinions.
