I agree. I had a set a few years ago that handling was just average and wet performance was a dissapointment. I replaced them with Cooper CS5 ultra tourings and the ride and handling wet or dry was a huge improvement as we as quieter and 50k mile warranty.I’m not a fan of the RT43. I had a set on a 2006 Hyundai Tucson. The dealership that I bought them from exchanged them for a set of Cooper CS3 (now the Evolution). I’ll never by another set of them.
