They're wonderful in the rain too. I've never hydroplaned once, and the car feels rock solid. It should be noted that I have an NA, not a TT. The one downside of these tires is that the sidewalls are a bit softer than other performance tires, so they might feel a bit squirly if you plan on driving hard in dry conditions. The last issue is availability. Last time I checked, most places were low on stock of 225/50/16, and I'm not sure if they come in an appropriate size for TT rears.
