Hey,
JUst ordered a new set of wheels today and, was looking for new tires. I was looking at the Azenis Rt 615 i can get them shipped for 250 for the rears. I was wondering how they act in the rain and whats the life expectancy of them? Say compared to the Re050's? Any info would help thanx peace

Life expectancy is not good - 200 treadwear rating. Wet performance is not good - don't go above 60 mph on the highway at full to 3/4 tread. If you're under 1/2 tread, go 50-55. If you're at 1/4 tread and you're on the highway when it's raining - god help you.

With that said, dry performance is incredible.

GRM just did another test on those tires, they rank them first before neova, bridgestone re01, federal595rs(lol).

the only draw back beside wear and wet performance is that they lose grip as they heat up, according to GRM(which is the best magazine in the world btw)
