i need new tires and i want a soft compound tire so i was looking at the nitto 555r's but i live in florida so it rains alot but what could i go with that has the best dry and good wet traction?

 

Bf goodrich makes a few nice tires for rain and performance.

 

I bought a set of Fuzion ZRi about a year ago,i have to say these are great tires.Excellent dry traction and pretty good wet traction,i have not pushed it to hard in the rain.The back tires still have good tread left even after a few burn downs. I paid just under $400 for a set of 4 including mounting and balancing. Here's a link to a survey on the tire. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....&tireModel=ZRi

 

I have a set of Mastercraft tires on my 94 z28, rated for 170+ MPH. They are great in the rain, I mean obviously if you push a rear wheel drive car hard in the rain, you will loose traction. However I can still zip around pretty well with these. They are a little more expensive though, I got mine for $80 a piece through my uncle. They are about $150 otherwise.

I looked into the original Goodyear Eagles... way too pricey. I decided on Z rated Dunlops, and they've really held up well on dry and wet conditions.
