I find it interesting that these worked well for you in the recent rains in Houston. My experience with RE-11s was once they were under about 5/32" tread wear, they hydroplaned like crazy in any amount of standing water; I was afraid to drive over 40 mph in them once water started collecting on the roads.

I'd check your pressures. Running a pressure close to OEM will get you a better contact patch where the channels are located. I would say even with that amount of wear and moderate rain (excluding standing water of course) I had no trouble doing at least 60mph
