The only time I had a problem with Falkens in the wet was when they were almost completely bald. I do very little highway driving, so hydroplaning is not a big issue for me.
Alan Gross and I did made a trip to Tally for an autox a couple years ago at some insane speeds in the rain, I was on bald falkens then, too. I never hit any standing water on I-75 or I-10. I eventually ran out of courage and common sense prevailed.
I would like to try the falkens on a miata again, though. My only experience on the falkens are when they were on my cavalier. They really transformed that car.
