Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s. Don't think you can beat the price ($150/tire installed when I got them) and they do great in rain. I've put 40k mi on mine and they have probably got 20k more in them.

Pros: great in rain, good price
Mileage: 64000 km

Firestone Indy 500 tire? What level are you running at and on what car? What is your psi? It's a great novice (to intermediate-ish)tire, but you have to know when to back off. Run them too hot and they'll get a little greasy feeling. Although I can't see that happening after 1 lap.

Pros: predictable tire, good feedback
Cons: greasy feeling

I've had the Firestone Weathergrips on my Camry for 4+ years. Solid performance all around - better in snow than any all season tire I have used. Noise has gotten worse as they wear - there isn't any cupping or uneven wear - I think it is just the nature of the tire.

Pros: solid performance, better in snow
Cons: noise got worse

Get the Firestone All Seasons, or Firestone Wearhergrip All Weather tire. Both are excellent for snow, rain - any weather.

Pros: excellent for snow, rain

I've enjoyed the "garbage" Indy 500s on my Challenger since shortly after I bought it, but they're getting up there in age and will be replaced in the spring. Quite possibly with another set. Had another tire in mind as a potential contender, but now I can't remember which one. That car is used for hauling butt on curvy roads, has never been driven in rain, but on hard packed snow. Then the Firestones are all but useless. And I'm sure that worn ones can be interesting in rain. I have DWS06s on a couple of vehicles and really like them, but if not driving on snow the DW version would be fine for me. They really impressed me on wet pavement, although that was years ago and tire offerings have changed.

Pros: good on curvy roads, impressive on wet pavement
Cons: useless on hard packed snow
Vehicle: Dodge

It's wild to me that Firestone has been so invisible and irrelevant in the consumer market ever since the Ford Explorer fiasco, yet still so active in Indycar.

Cons: invisible, irrelevant in market
