Best wet weather tire for my E?

We live in Oregon so yes it rains and rains and sometimes you dont think its going to stop raining. It is time to put new shoes on my E (16 inch rims, on a RWD E300 TD) just looking for some suggestions from you guys.

Very Expensive - Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season is probably the best. No personal experience.

I've also heard good things about the Bridgestone RE950 and the Dunlop SP-A2...both should be available in 215/55-16.

Bridgestone S-03 Pole Position tires are excellent in rain. Better and cheaper than Michelin. No good in snow, however.

Besides the S-03's, check out Dunlop SP9000's.

Yes, I had the Dunlop SP Sport 9000s before I went to the Bridgestones. I think the Bridgestones are better in the wet and definitely better in dry. Dunlops may ride a bit quieter and last a bit longer. I am still evaluating the Bridgestones. Prices are about the same. Both are cheaper than Michelins. Tire Rack guy talked me out of Michelins.
