I find that tires that provide good snow traction typically are poor on wet roads.

I had Hankook iCeptEvo, Dunlop 3D winters, and I'm not Xice3 now and none of them are particularly good in rainy weather. The Xice3 seems to be the best but I also have to pussyfoot it around town.

I suggested to a friend to just run a good A/S tire for winter. It was great but the large dropoff in terms of snow and ice traction was too much for him on a high HP RWD car, so he went to performance winters this year. We'll see how he does but we might not see much snow this year.

My car stored away right now because my parents are using my garage to store things, still on AD09, so it probably won't snow until I retrieve it in the new years. The day I plan to go get the car will probably be the day it snows and I won't be able to bring it home.
