Good Tires in the Rain??

[1992 2.3LX]

I have toyo proxes FZ4 and the absolutly suck in the rain! I want to get rid of them. so what is a good performance tire with good wet traction?

I have been looking at the Pirelli P Zero Nero and BFGoodrich G-Force T/A KDW. supposedly these two are supposed to have excelent wet traction. anyone have have experience with these tires or any others that do well in the rain?

I am absolutely loving the Bridgestone Potenza RE-750's on my wife's 01. Even with 4.10s, in the pouring FL thunderstorms, I can boogie off the line and now worry. I feel very safe with these tires underneath me, but totally terrified in the rain in my OEM Good(for two)Years - total POS tires are at the end of their life after carefully maintaining them for 22K miles. The Potenza's dry traction is excellent as well. I love em.

Eagle F1's by good year are great in water, and do offer performance to a decent degree on dry weather.

what about against hydroplaning??

That's where my Toyo's have the biggest problem. I can go off the line no problem. But once i a cruising on the highway around 60 man it sucks real bad. Hydroplanes like a mother.

Yokohama avs es 100's are good in the rain and cheap.

I like my Toyos, I have the proxes T1-S and have no complaints with them in the rain at all.

I just bought Bridgestone Fuzion's and I went out in the rain turned traction control off and didnt have a problem at all.

get the potenza re750s ive had experience w/ these tires, they gripped better in the rain than the stock goodyears did on dry pavement. i swear by them, they get better wet traction than any other tire ive seen , check at tirerack.com they got a good rating system, when i first got these tires i TRIED to make them hydroplane and couldnt do it, love them, and they last around 35k and i wasnt babying them, and cost around 150, great tires

Not cheap but good..

Firestone Firehawk SZ50 (EP)... GREAT in the rain and very sticky in the dry...

A little on the pricey side at ~ $165 each.

Yokohama avs es 100's are good in the rain and cheap.

i had hankook ventus sport k104's & they were great in wet & dry. they have a very similar tread pattern to the yoko avs es100's when the hankooks were new on my last gt i had no problem cutting a 2.0 60ft at the track, without beating on the car. without a doubt if i would have beat on it a little i would have gotten 1.9's with ease

Firestone Firehawks all the way! They are great in the rain and even better when dry!

Look either into BFG KDW or Goodyear F1 GS-D3 if you have more money.
