At full tread they are okay for rain. If you run them full tread in the dry they will not last as long. The VV700 is better then the EV700 for full tread dry use since they doesn't chunk. At least mine didn't. Both should be shaved for dry use.

Both are good close to ~30 PSI cold and ~40 hot.

You will want at least -2 degrees camber up front.

On a 2500lb car, in 205-60-13, 35-38psi (hot) is good.

Full tread are fine in light rain, but not great in standing water (which is pretty rare at most tracks). I use them as my rain tires since I don't want to carry around a set of Dirt Stockers that I'll use maybe once a year.

I ran new, shaved Kumhos at VIR in the rain a few months ago. They were ok except they would hydroplane a bit down the back straight.
