I have a pair of these tires on my Firebird. I bought them last fall and originally put them on the back, to get me through the winter. They worked wonderful, even in a few inches of snow. Then in the spring I moved them up to the front (because I bought some new F1 GS D3s for out back), and the Dunlops did very well this year, I have no problems in heavy rain, they don't hydroplane at all. And the cornering of them seems great, although admittedly I'm more into drag racing then handling. Treadwear is excellent, I put probably close to 20k on them so far and they can definitely go another 20k or more for sure.

Those Dunlops rock! I had those on my GTA. They are good in the dry and wet. They last forever. They stick pretty well to after you heat them up. I think I'm gonna get those for my WS6 and the price is pretty decent too.
I think I would have to recommend looking at Firestone SZ50EP's as well. They are great in the wet and dry. Doesn't look like snow is an issue for you. They look different but drive and hook like stupid.
