You won't find a tire that hooks and is also good for all weather conditions. Nitto drag radials do well in the rain (as long as they still have tread) but not in snow.
I like the BFG KDWS for an all season tire.

I'm running BFG Super Sport A/S's on my car, they work pretty damn well and are fairly cheap.

How about the goodyear F1 GS-D3's. They are a performance tire, and I've heard great things on how they handle in the rain.

BFG's KDW tires work great. I've had them on this car and on my Cobalt before.

I've had a few sets of GS-D3s mainly due to how well they handle the rain. That was my main concern after I replaced the original pieces of crap that came on the car. They also handle really good in the dry.

I had to test these tires, so one time I got up to 90 in heavy rain, on the highway, and I wasn't twitching at all.

for a DD i would go with KDWs. The GS D3s have a tendency to wear quicker. my friend has some KDWs on his 91. they are 5 years old and still look new.

I run GS-D3s, they have excellent traction wet and dry.
