What's the best tire for wet weather?
Question? What is the best tire for wet weather, or all season sport tire for our cars? It does not rain much in LA but those Sport Cup 2's are water slides 
On my other AMG's I have gone to the P Zero which was a little better, I had the best luck with the Khumo but don't want to put those on my GTS

Thanks, as soon as my Cup 2s die, they are out and only for track days, i had to drive an hour last month in the crazy LA storm and thought I was not gonna make it on the freeway.

In South FL it rains a bit so I think a lot about tire options. I DD my GTC so PSC2s are not an option. OE PSS came as 265/35/ZR19s in front and 305/30ZR20s in the rear. I can't find PS4S in sizes I like, so I am sticking with PSS, which are almost as good. The 305s were always to small for the 12" width rear rims, so I just put PSS 335/30ZR20s on the rear and they look fantastic. While not as sticky as PSC2s on track, they are predictable as they give up; and I can keep running sessions in the wet when everyone else is parked.

Khumos are great on wet roads. I've had them for the life of my S2000, (a car that like to throw the back end if you are not paying attention).
If you like them on your other cars, why not on the GT?

The Khumos I had on my CL55 would wear out a bit faster and had a lot more road noise, but for the price on the older car i did not mind, I actually was rocking Nankang as well as they are similar to the Khumo.
