Seattle Rain Tires

fajitatone · 06-18-2019, 10:23 AM

I live in Seattle, WA. Looking to get a set of tires that are quiet and work well in the rain. Probably different wheels for this set as well, relegating the OEM wheels to winter tires (Blizzak's). I'd like to keep the run-flat capability, square setup and an 18" wheel. H&R springs are also in the future.

Show me what you got!

TIA

Choose any summer tire - they're typically good rain tires. Maybe an Ultra-High Performance category all-season. Check on tirerack.com. I'm going to switch from my Michelin Pilot PS2 ZP OEM tire to an AS4, not sure it comes in RFT/ZP form.

I live in Kirkland and I've had a really good experience with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3's - considered to be a high performance all weather tire - worked great in the few days of snow we have too...

Agree. The Pilot Super Sports on my previous car were far better in the rain (when driven in the appropriate temperatures) than any all season tire I've experiened.

Personally I've got the stock 20" on summer Perelli RF and a set of 19" with DWS06 for the wetter months.

But since you've got Blizzaks for winter, I'd take a look at the MS4S or similar.
