Best tires for wet conditions?

I'm just wondering what are the best tires for the wet conditions we experience over here? My tires are not faring too well more and more in the recently frequent downpour. Appreciate all input.. thanks.

I'm using the Toyo T1R's and they are not too bad. Heard good things about the Eagle F1's as well bud. Good luck!

Ps2, seems to be quieter, grip is slightly better than its predecessor.

and stop making unnecessary remarks. i dun find it cool... in one way or another

actually i dont know why you bother to read so much into what I write. GR 80 happen to be the only Bridgestone tyre I know so I'm stupid. So its cheapo and that means I'm poor. All I said was that I support bridgestone because I'm a fan of Ferarri not that I strongly recommended anyone to fit their 8 with it. I am sorry if that offends anyone. I give it to you and the rest who probably knows more about cars and tires than I do. Don't see why you have to be so offensive about it.

Don't worry, Sushi.. when you get your 8, you will know one more type of Bridgestone tyre.

Thanks for the input guys. I also used to have Falken GRBs on my previous car which performed pretty well in the wet. Too bad they don't produce that model anymore. Anyone has Falkens?

Potenza S-02s was excellent also.

I was on both.. now on Ps2. Ps2 noise reduction is significant. Grip wise, both are remarkable, be it wet or dry

My vote goes to Eagle F1 GS-D3. Excellent in the wet and I have no complains about its performance in the dry. Just don't expect slick or semi-slick track like performance in the dry.
