Default Azenis in the Rain?

Upcoming Autox that looks like it may be in a light rain. Will I be better off running the Falkens in tha rain or using my Kumho 712s?

Falkens. My experience (with a WRX) is that the Falkens kick butt. The 712s aren't bad, but I think the Azenis are the superior tire overall.

Stickier tires are always stickier, even in the rain.
Hydroplaning is the only issue you need to worry about. Since they have tread on them, I would not worry about it.

I used my full tread Azenis on the way home from work in a downpour. On this corner in the dry I can take the turn around 40-50mph. Well did the same corner at the same speed. Great tires. Although like any other tires as they wear down they are prone to hydroplaning.
