Default just plainly looking at the specs...
I'd say ST115 for quiet ride and longer treadwear.

712 for somewhat more dry/wet grip.

But I'm just speculating here. The ST115 does sound very interesting though.

Default hmmm....
I was never able to spin my S-03s in the rain. Either they grip so well in the wet, or my car doesn't put out enough juice to the ground :-)

Default pretty good!. actually this is the better characteristics of the azenis line up
displacing water under the tires is so 1970s - anyone can do that. high longitudinal grip ...actually having traction when wet is a whole new aspect - this is where rubber compound/construction comes in
