Hoosier Radial Wet. Probably the best street-legal wet weather tire you can buy!!! Probably pulls more Gs in the wet then some performance tires do in the dry. Really amazing. However it will probably last less than 100 miles in the dry.

Seriously though, all street tires are compromise designs and that's a good thing. What is important is to determine what your compromise is and then find a tire that matches it.

Example - if you never drive in the wet you can ignore wet performance. But if the car is a daily driver and you live in an area that has moderate to heavy rainfall then you must not ignore wet perfomance.

Example - Everyone wants great dry grip but how much comfort and noise resistance will you give up for it?
