i'm looking for a great (not just good) wet weather (not snow) tire for my 2001 GS430 with the factory 17" chrome rims... i'm wondering what you guys find is best...

my criteria are:
a) must have great wet weather traction - mostly rains in vancouver, with a hint of sun...
snow/cold traction does not matter as i have a set of 4 snow tires
b) must offer good treadlife (40,000 - 50,000 km would be nice)
c) must have really really really good dry traction (for those rare days of sunshine)
d) sidewall guard would be nice... sorta like the toyo proxes T1-S had... i'm not the only one that drives my car and my gf sucks at parallel parking...

i'm looking for something coparable to the toyo proxes T1-S that are on my AE86 corolla... those are phenominal tires... but nolonger available...

let me know what you guys recommend... i'm not looking to buy tires 'til march

thanks!!

i work at a tire place and we use alot of pirelli p6 4 season and toyo proxes 4
probly the best choice in that size. Or you can do micheline but its a little bit expensive.
