They are not made for the rain but I've run my car in the rain and I love them.

 

I can tell you from my experience that the tires are not bad at all in the rain. I autocrossed on them in a downpour and felt minimal loss of grip. Just avoid standing water and you should be ok.

If you do a search you can find many many threads about these tires.

 

they are good tires, not the best in rain, but satisfactory.

I like them.

 

They suck in standing water! They are non directional, and if you look at the tread pattern you'll always have driverside wanting to hydroplane more.

If the ground is just wet its fine (don't need to disperse water away from tire)

 

They are just "OK" when it rains.

If it rains a lot where you live, I would get something else. (like S-03 or ES100).

 

They aren't bad in the rain at all! I also have auto-xed em' and my car gripped just fine!

Standing water is all that you really have to be careful for

 

would these tires be good for dragg racing 1/4 mile

Search would give you answers, and the majority say no but if you drop them to 20psi some say it can be decent for street tires.

 

they suck in the rain, I drove my car once in the rain with azenis, now i drive a 97 dodge stratus, that costs me more on insurance then the itr did

 

My car does just fine in the rain.

 

not the best in the rain. really good track tire though. But they dont last to long either. But if your going to track your car theyre GREAT!

 

These are good tires all around not the best in the rain but good. If you want a harder compound go with Ziex even worse in the rain I think

 

so for better 1/4 mile track times should i go with Falken Azenis or Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position?

 

its driveable in the rain but don't do anything crazy with it in the rain, and as for dry conditions, they're excellent.

 

they suck in the rain just to let u know.. i break traction at every single stop light. but other weather condition .. they aare great.. love them for corners and even drag racing, just lower the psi to like 15 ..and you launch at like 5500 rpm all day..

They are fine in the rain as long as you can control yourself. S-03's might be a little better only because they are a little lighter, but I would go so far as to say the Falkens have comparable grip.... at about half the cost.

The car will shift when you hit standing water, but that's true w/any tyre.

On the street, I have no problem w/Azenis unless we're negotiating standing water over a distance of several feet. As the tyres wear down, the problem with standing water gets worse, of course.

I wouldn't worry about rain and water, and just drive reasonably for the weather conditions. </TD></TR></TABLE>

Well Put.

I am just curious (not trying to start anything here) But those who say they "SUCK" in the rain are you talking well worn tires or like 60%or better?
Recently, Well back in May and June... We had LOTS of rain Like weeks on end. Just looking at the tires I thought they would be "HELL" in the rain, but to my surprise they were quiet managable. Of course we are talking about tires with less than 2000 miles of street driving and no track time. I have hit about 4-6 inches of standing water with no problem but I was only going about 50. Took me by surprise. Now by the same tken I don't just go looking for water to run through (road crap is not nice looking on PY he he he)
Ther are MUCH better rain or wet weather tires out there, but very little that will give such great performance in the dry weather IMO.

 

The reason we are getting such differing opinions is because "in the rain" can mean a lot of things. It all depends on the conditions and the road. If it's raining hard enough that your wipers can't keep the water off your windshield, you're in trouble. But that is probably true for must tires.

At highway speeds in a decent downpour/thunderstorm, I was not pleased.

At VIR in the pouring rain I was getting wheelspin at 100 mph accellerating down the back straight. I didn't really like that feeling, so I called the session short so I could play another day.
