herfire... you're welcome. It's not about how much you post, but rather what you post.

Okay, here is how the two OEM tires (Continental and Michelin) and the other two I was considering
(Goodyear and Kumho) compare in wet and dry traction, again using TireRack numbers...

Hydroplaning Resistance / Wet Traction / Dry Traction = Total Points

1. Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 ~~ 8.9 / 9.1 / 9.2 = 27.2
2. Michelin Pilot Sport 2 ~~~~~~~ 8.6 / 8.7 / 9.4 = 26.7
3. Kumho ECSTA SPT ~~~~~~ 8.2 / 8.3 / 8.5 = 25.0
3. Continental Contact Sport 2 ~~ 7.4 / 7.6 / 8.6 = 23.6

Goodyear wins when it comes to wet traction, but with a solid third place finish, having the best wear
rating AND the best price, the Kumho's still are my first choice in replacement tires for my Crossfire.

As for driving in the Florida rain, I would think the Kumho's would do just fine, however I have a suggestion
for you. Buy a complete set of new tires. Mixing different brands/tread patterns has never been a good idea,
especially on high performance tires...
