Yeah, that's a hard concept for us on the West coast.  In some places, oh...like Madison, WI, summer IS the rainy season;-)  It's nice, though, to see that the weather might actually cooperate next week.

Keep in mind, just because a tire is referred to as "summer only", or
"ultra
high performance" does not mean that it will not be good in the rain.  My
Kumho summer tires are noticeably better rain tires than any of the "all
season" tires I have on my other two cars.

the list of 76 available tires in that size.  I picked the ones that I was
interested in and did some comparisons.  I want to be sure I don't slide
around in wet weather so I concentrate on all-season tires.
