I live in SoCal so I'm not to worried about rain but I would rather not have to worry about hydroplaning every time it rains. So... can anyone who has these tires comment on the issue of the wet traction ?

PS. It seems like these Goodyear Eagle Gts would answer both my concerns, at the cost of a little dry traction whaddya think ? http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Goodyear& tireModel=Eagle+GT&partnum=955VR5GT&vehicleSearch= true&fromCompare1=yes
I have Fusion tyres 205-40X17 and like them in the rain and dry pavement. My OEM lasted well past 45K. Got them through Tire Rack
