Lightbulb good wet traction tire

looking for people's opinions on good wet weather tires. i live in memphis and it has been raining for about 3 weeks. the roads tend to get at least an inch or so of water and also have a decent amount of oil build up. tires probably cant do much about the oil on the roads.. but anything that will help with the water will be much better.

Michelin Pilots are supposed to be really good as well, although they're expensive.

tons of good reviews for having good wet and dry traction. and as a bonus, they are one of the lighter tires in it's size!

Look at Goodyear's new F1 GS-D3. We tested them last fall on IS300s and our wet track times were slightly better than on S-03s. Read about this tire if you can - it's going to turn some heads.

Talking

thnx for all the replies. overall, looking at both UHP & MAX. more than anything i was just trying to get peeps opinions from having used the tires or know from a friend or other source of actual performance. i just wanted something other then the s**t little descriptions they usually give for the tires, most dont tell you any useful info others just dont have any info at all.
