Poor wet performance? First time I heard that. Care to elaborate more?
I use RE001 and RE002 before.
Nothing to talk about RE001 because product phase out.
RE002 when new wont notice anything during raining day at highway. But after worn 20~30% u driving like snake on highway during raining time, and speed only 70~80kmh.
Re001 no such problem until worn 50%.

That definitely sounds scary. I wonder how long will I be able to use them. :smokin:

Learn to drift....hahhahahha

But as far as you are using NA non mod I think you will still be okay.
My VR before mod was 2.0 auto on Kumho RE-711 205/50R16. In wet or dry no issues, but after transplant VR in, it really move like snake in the wet. In the dry still okay but cannot simply step on it...:biggrin:

car weight also must consider in tyre choosing i think..
my car using re002 wet road can go 120kmj with no snaking problem..
but have to be extra careful on lopak air..maybe my tyre not so wide so better aquaplanning..maybe also..

I usually scour the internet for news worthy of your time and your passion for cars and motorsports, but every once in a while I'll stumble across something that may not be exactly that but is worth posting here. Take this for example, came across this on Jalopnik, literally the ultimate Audi fan girl complete with day time running lights, just like her favourite car.
