    Wet weather performance on Hankook Z212?

    Anyone have any views on wet weather grip with Hankook Z212 tires? I ran them at a wet weather DE this weekend and they felt very loose. I used the same tires for a couple of DE days last year, all in the dry, but I still have a lot of tread.

    I am trying to understand if it was a tire or suspension set up issue.

    Ive read that wet weather is not excellent. I think im about to buy a pair for the rear of my M3, and then all around once my front S0-3's wear out.

    I digress. The Hankook RS2 Z212 is an amazing rain tire, short of the Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3. They have ranked well in many tests and I've found them quite impressive in wet autocross situations.

    The will be my daily driving tire on my M here shortly.
