look at eagle f1 ds-g3's they are extremely good in the rain, and uhp. but you need a winter tire, they get hard as a rock in the winter.

had em on my gti and they stick to the road like rails. I ran these year round, not by choice. I drove in snow with them but not more than 4inchs and it was fwd.

If you want a high performance tire than does decent in light snow >6inches look at Dunlop Direzza Star Spec Z1 or Hankook Ventus V12 Evo... They both demolished the wet and dry performance category and completely raped the BFG KDW is both categories...

I've personally seen the Dunlop's on my friend 300hp Solstice GXP (rwd) and it went through the snow and in the rain it was like riding on rails... I've never seen a tire handle like these in the rain)

My brother has the Hankook's on his GSX he just got them but took them for a spirited ride through the back road with his ~400whp Eclipse and said they were just as grippy and comfortable as the Dunlops.

My friend and brother both bought these tires for autocross and drag racing purposes if that gives you any clue.

Well, if you had read. The chart denotes a semi wet circuit racing track!

so what happens when it rains? ever driven in the rain with bald tires? these are exactly the same. A wide surface area for road contact. Its aracing tire plain and simple. He'll be hydroplaning all over the place if it rains enough
