Default Another Tire Question

All of you have been such a help to this new C5 owner.

my C5 coupe needs new tires. I been looking aroung and it seems the the best is Polit PS2. I just got a great price on Toyo T1R.

My current tires are GY Supercars.
295/35/19 rear and 265/40/17 on the front.

I am looking for a tire that will be good in the rain since I am a daily driver.


Thanks in advance to everyone for thier help.

My vote is for Firestone wideovals I'm on my third set now the seem to last about 20-30,000 and work great in the rain. BTW unless you are not stock the rears are 18's front 17's

The best tire in the rain available is the Good Year GS-D3... pulls more G's on the skidpad wet than many do dry...
