Wet traction tire recommendations?
I really like the way my SVX drives and handles... except when it's raining. Today it almost swapped ends with me in a light drizzle on a curvy road with which I'm very familiar; just snapped out and caught me completely off-guard. Anyway, I'll be needing new tires before long and would appreciate recommendations for a good, wet traction tire to replace my Bridgestone Potenzas. I've been satisfied with the ride, handling, and treadwear of the Bridgestones, but they just don't seem to like water.
Thanks. dcb

Decarrb,
Please state if your SVX is AWD of FWD. Also, which Potenzas do you have (RE-?);and do you have stock tire size?

I really liked how my Yokohama db's did in the wet but now that they're almost worn they are just like any other tire. I'd go for any performance tire with a directional "V" pattern and/or water channels.
