I only have direct experience with RE-11s. In the wet, they leave A LOT to be desired. However, they are perfectly manageable with decent tread. Once you get down to ~4/32 or less tho, I recommend you stay off the highway if there is any water collecting on the road surface. Even at 40 mph I found myself hydroplaning occasionally when driving through a puddle with any sort of depth.
