The Michelin and Goodyear don't really offer FRS/BRZ friendly sizes. The Kumhos delaminate. The BFG is a fantastic tire, but I don't agree with wet performance. That is the only new tire that I've ever driven where I couldn't do the speed limit on the interstate in a rain.

Personally, I buy 200TW's for dry pace, so nothing else listed even sniffs the Yoks.

Some people consider wet performance very differently. I know 1 person who competed in timed events that considers wet performance as being damp pavement, with no standing water. :eyebulge:

*Note; that's not my opinion!

If you are using these as a competition tire, that is a pretty reasonable take. Because once you get into conditions with standing water, you are probably looking at swapping over to something like a PS4S.
