What car? That makes a big difference. If you're on a FWD oversteering pig of a car (VW, Mini, Etc...) then you're going to run into issues.

The twin is a good platform and easyish on tires. As others have said, the Falkens are not the better rain tire for the TW zone you're looking at. IMHO there's no better wet tire than a Conti DW (Or the newer ECS).
