I've just been looking for something I could use and not be a big deal if I'm driving down the road and get caught in rain. That's probably the difference in opinion here. 90% of my track time is in the dry...I just don't want to go through too much effort if I get caught in the rain during commute, that's all. Sounds like all the tires will be just fine.  |
About the same; none of these tread patterns can evacuate any significant amount of water. If you go over a puddle with ANY of these tires, I hope you're going straight, at maintenance throttle.
I street drive on RC1's year round, and we DO get rain in California, contrary to popular belief. Because we don't get much of it, drainage sucks, and we get lots of standing water.
Just going at a safe speed is far more significant than water evacuation.
But, that's why I have a WRX...
Side note: The RE11 and AD08R are excellent in the rain.
