FWIW.
When I drive to events in Spokane from Missoula I have "fun." Two weeks ago
I drove in very heavy rain at night, temp about 36 degrees. Not huge
puddles, but definite ponding in the "studded tire grooves" and water
running across the road in quantity in some areas. I did all the corners
posted at 45 (advisory posting, not speed limit) at 80, all those posted at
50 at 85. Not a problem with the Azeni and my Subaru. Had done the same
thing in the Spring with the RE71s.
I "have" to drive that fast in the rain in order for the Rain-X to work ;-)!

If wet weather performance is an issue for you (as indicated by your message
below), I might think twice about the Azenis. Granted, I have absolutely no
experience with them, but all of their literature says "dry-weather
performance," and they're not sold in Washington, Idaho, or Oregon
(according to Discount Tire [tires.com]). Coincidence?
