I'm still running on the stocker Dunlops with about 37k on them and my Protege5 has always been awful in the rain. Even moderate acceleration from a stop = wheelspin, almost any throttle around a turn in the wet = wheelspin.

If i TRY it will spin into 4th gear accelerating from a stop.

I'm sure most of this is caused by the bottom-end torquey nature of these 2.0's, but was wondering what tires protege/protege5 owners have switched to with better wet performance?

I've been thinking about a set of Kuhmo 712's.......

 

I put Yokohama AVS ES100 on my Rotas and have been satisfied. They are still fairly new so I don't know how bad they will get when I put a little more wear into them, but seem good so far.
