This also has to do with the operating temperature of the tire. It can be sunny outside, without a cloud in sight, and your car could be operating as if it were in the rain if you can't get tires up to optimal operating temperature.

But, we don't get enough rain her to warrant having all seasons for the winter months. Hell, I'm pretty sure it was warmer in January this year, than it was in July (not actually true--but it hasn't been terribly hot this summer).

Like Vu said, just drive sensibly in the rain (though regardless of tires on the car, you should).
