What Are The Best All-Season Tires For Driving In Wet Conditions?

According to Consumer Reports research, these are the best all-season tires for driving in the rain:

• For pickup truck and SUV owners, the Michelin Premier LTX earns the top spot. Track testers praised its excellent handling in wet and dry conditions, and it earned extra credit in the “wet-weather-ready” category for its EverGrip technology, which packs extreme amounts of silica into the tires’ rubber compounds to improve grip and hydroplaning resistance.
• For any driver in search of wet braking performance, the Michelin CrossClimate+ makes for a fantastic choice. When tested on wet tracks against four of its top competitors, the Michelin CrossClimate had already stopped while the others were still driving over 38km/h. Available in sizes ranging from 16 to 20 inches, and at both H and V speed ratings, the CrossClimate is ideal for SUVs, passenger cars, minivans, and high-end performance vehicles alike.
• For those seeking ultra-high-performance A/S tires, Consumer Reports testing points to the Goodyear Eagle Exhilarate, which is now used as an OEM tire for the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE. Researchers praised its excellent wet handling and hydroplaning resistance, as well as its tight cornering and superior rider comfort.
• For drivers looking to improve fuel efficiency, while still staying safe in the rain, Consumer Reports recommends the Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus. This tire uses a NanoPro-Tech compound to improve handling and grip in wet weather, and it is designed with a symmetric pattern with notched shoulder blocks to make it easier to corner without sliding. Additionally, to eliminate hydroplaning risks, this tire comes with four circumferential grooves that evacuate water from between the treads.
