performance runflats in the rain - hydroplaning?

Hi everyone, I ordered my MCSa with out the sport package so it's arriving in about 3 weeks with the R84 16 all seasons.

I really like the R99 performance tire set and would like to order it soon so it can be installed when I take delivery. This link http://www.mini2.com/forum/wheels-tyres-brakes/52416-mini-cooper-s-tyre-specing-questions.html points to the Dunlop as being good at resiting hydroplaning - my main concern. Is this your experience?

Comment on the rain performance of their stock performance runflats would really be appreciated.

Thanks, Paul

i tend to find in really wet conditions they are fine but in the damp they can feel really greasy
