I don't know what rules you are running under, but Hoosier wets (H2O) are without a doubt the best DOT rain tire in existance if you are willing to pay for the best:

The next best is the Continental DW according to a GRM magazine test, and is my personal selection.
Resist the temptation to purchase wide rain tires. The narrowest tires for the wheel width that you are running will be less prone to hydro-planing due to the increased weight per square inch.
