Your going to have to try find a set that gives the best wet grip, I suggest reading online reviews to help you out once you begin trial and error, some tyres are very good in the wet and can make all the difference.I find my Michelin Pilot Super sports to be pretty impressive in the wet. You can play around with pressures too but with my specific tyres I didn't notice too much of a difference between 36 to 45 PSI, 40 PSI seemed to extract the most wet grip out of it, your results might vary though.To Begin, leave traction control on and do not put your foot flat to the floor on launches you will never get grip that way once you begin spinning it wont grip, with traction on if you give it too much gas you will either go sideways, or if the TRC is not quick enough to react, it will suddenly smash the brakes on and take all the power out. If you gradually give it gas with traction control on, it will do a good job at stopping you losing traction once getting on power. Then once you are used to it, you can try it without traction control. Be careful on the highway if you got a bit of power, you may get grip initially on wide open throttle, but once it shifts into the higher gears, it can begin to wheel-spin suddenly. And also be careful as you reach 3000 rpm, you are going to have to learn to take your foot off the gas just the right amount to modulate the power correctly.
