you stock AP2 tires, RE050, are good in the rain compare to other summer performance tires.

If you are going to buy a new set of tires, I would get the RE050A Pole Position or the Eagle F1 GS-d3 (?) if you are concern about wet traction.

I've been running the Goodyears for over a year and have been through many rainy days with them. They are amazing in the rain. The car never dances and always had contact and control in the wet. I still wouldn't VTEC it and take turns hard, but there is a lot of control and you don't have to "white knuckle" it on the freeway.

general tire shops will tell you that "all season" tires are better in the rain and "summer" tires are horrible. read up on tire rack or any other source and you will find that statement to be BS.
