I am going to get these with my next set of wheels. My car is a daily driver, so they need some grip in the rain. any comments would be appreciated

 

Just drove on them in the Rainy California weather.. which is probably nothing comared to NC weather.. they did alright.. but I can feel them slipping thru fast long sweepers...I wouldn't run them unless I lived in cali

 

for normal driving in rain theyre fine. if u expect to hot rod them thats stupid on any tire in the rain. but that just my opinion, not like i havnt been stupid a few times, ull be fine just learn their limits and respect them peace

 

Ive heard horror stories..... from what Ive heard i would never drive on them during the rain.

 

if you dont drive like a ****** monkey blindfolded with banana peels you should be fine...most people have problems because they drive like a jackass ...drive cool and you should be fine

exactly.

I live in top left corner of US.....rains a lot up here. I haven't had ONE problem with 20% 205 50 Azenis in my car at all. Drive accordingly and don't be stupid and you'll be fine.

They actually grip better than some regular tires IMO....90% of the autocrosses were in the rain and the Azenis DEFFINATELY held their own....

 

I dont have any major problems in the rain with mine. Just like everyone else said drive with caution. I also try and avoid deep puddles if possible.

comments like this are why these question are asked. people who have not had personal experience with them just telling what they have heard. Not a shot at you directly Navid OG, just using your post as an example.

i've been running azenis for about two years and i have had no problems out of them in the rain. just drive like you have half a brain and you will be fine

 

its all good... im just trying to share my knowledge, but obviously the guys with the tires would know more than me.

 

you should drive like a grandma in the rain anyways just to be safe.

having dry tires (azenis) gives you a practical reason to do so.
i have azenis, and drive like a ***** in the rain; because, i have to in order to keep traction, and i'd rather drive safely anyways.

they are not that bad in light rain and damp roads - but you will hydroplane in deep puddles, so be careful - drive slow and be safe.

Avoid standing water like you would with any other tire. Simple.

 

i have azenis, and;

If you're really worried about the rain.... Get the rubber i have.... Fz4's.

I love them, and wouldn't go to any other tire now.......

 

Thanx for all the replies!
