    Well I’m not sure there is a magic bullet for tires; you just have to fit the tire to your driving. My personal favorite site for tire info is TireRack. IMHO an hour on that site would help your decision making. On my last GP I put on some Goodyear Assurance tires, they were awesome tires for all around use. They really cut down on the hydro plane-ing, the stock tires were horrible in the rain. So I would image the newer Goodyear Assurance TripleTreds are just as good. The Michelin Hydroedge and Harmony are highly rated, and undoubtedly a good tire. Now that I’m thinking about it even after changing my tires, my 02 GP did plane a little. Maybe it’s my imagination but my 08 GP doesn’t plane nearly as much even with the stock tires. Maybe more down force or different alignment specs? Who knows?
    Anyway, I would definitely get a tire that specifically fights hydro plane-ing.

    Ten years of continuous driving excitement and counting!
