You guys seriously have that much trouble with driving on Azenis in the rain? I didn't notice any issues. They weren't great...but they're not as bad as you guys are making them out to be.

Or maybe I just have a lot of machismo and driving skillzzz?

Edit: I've never had them. But I have driven a friend's car with them in the rain. No biggie...

Anyway...for GA weather, you should be fine, honestly. It gets down to? what? 50 degrees? You'll be allright. Just drive carefully if you notice the car isn't doing so great when it's raining. No need to run out and buy new tires.

IMO there are are better tires out there: Bridgestone RE11, Dunlop StarSpec, Yoko AD08.

I believe any of those should outperform the Azenis in the dry, and KILL it in the wet. The Dunlops might also be cheaper.

AH, don't worry about it then. Just be careful in the cold/wet, and of course don't even think about it on snow/ice!

Actually, yes they are. Having driven many tires in the rain including R comps, these were worse then them all except for my 1/32" R comps.

. Just be careful with them until you get a feel of what to expect from them.
