Tire recommendations for wet weather?

Since I'm looking to upgrade my rims, I have started looking around for tires as well. I know 20" performance tires aren't going to "great" in the rain, but since I live in Florida and we get a ton of rain during the summer months, I need a tire that's going to give me good handling and traction on wet roads.

Any recommendations? I read some reviews on tire websites, but I never trust that those reviews are from actual owners of the tires rather than companies plugging their product.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks. I'd look at 245/35-20 and 275/30-20 to start. The two stronger summer only wet performers in that combo would be Hankook's Ventus V12 EVO and B-Stone RE760's. On the all season side, I'd look into Conti's DWS.

Neal, what's your take on the Kumho Exsta 4X for an All Season?

I'm looking for something that is in High Performance/Ultra high Performance All Season and works well in a little snow when I go to New Mexico.
I liked the Toyo Proxes 4 that I had on my 350Z...but they are hard to find in Texas.

sorry for the hijack...
