Default Rain r-compound tires

Just curious, you guys know the various brands of racing tires made for wet conditions?

Cool, thanks for the help. I've always been a fan of Yokohamas. It's turning out that the Trans-Am is going to be my year round car for awhile so I need to find either one set of tires that can do it all really well, or two sets , one set of three season and one set of winter only on steel rims.

They are not a daily driver tire by any means but they do work better on the street than Kunhos or Hoosiers. Figure a tread life of around 10-20K miles depending on how you treat them,,, but they will harden up a good bit before the tread is gone. Once they get hard, they are not much better than regular street tires.

I think that if I had to drive my car every day,,, I would think about getting two set of wheels and tires.
