Nitto 555R drag radials work just fine in the rain, I know from extensive experience. They work well for me at the dragstrip too. Sometimes I'm too lazy to swap back to my rain tires after running at the track so I just drive on the Nittos all week in whatever kind of weather hits, no issues at all.

Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval - great street tire dry and wet. Cut 2.0s in my stock Z28 at the track. That's all my car had it in since on nittos it cut the same time.
