what tires would you suggest for a place where it rains all the time?
title says it all. for a 1st gen, of course. and I want all the handling I can get. BTW, it almost NEVER freezes or snows here.
I used to run Yoko's on my daily driver 323 and they were sh1te in the wet and only lasted 6000miles!, got some pirelli p6000's on now and they are miles better
not much of insight but I'd recommend the p6000's as they seem to last forever and have good grip in the wet

Ive got Toyo Sprctrum 80,000 mile tires, and I live in Seattle where it never stops raining
. They seem to be ok, but seeing as theyre the first tires Ive ever driven with new and not thread showingly bald, I dont have much to compare to. They havent unexpectedly let loose on me yet, even under a few "hard braking to avoid rear ending" incidents
. They grip well in the dry as well, they just seem to be pretty nice tires. Im running them in the stock replacement size on stock rims. Theyre basically a notch or so below the Proxes. The Proxes dont come in the right size from what Ive been told. I dont know if I would buy them or not anyway

Here's the correctly spelled link:

Not that it does any good...
BTW, I have the same tires on my '80 in size 185/70 13, and they work fine in the rain, but I have to say that they seem to have rather soft sidewalls which impart a slightly vague feel to the steering. Guess that's what they consider a "touring radial". Good old Les...

B/F Goodrich Gforce KDW's. I have the Kd's and they are awsome!!! They feel like race tires, I love them... The KDW's are designed for ultra high performance and are fantastic in the rain

Yokohama Parada Spec II
I have these on my 2000 Accord. I'm not sure how small of a size they are available in, I have 205/40/17s on my Accord.
EXCELLENT AA rain traction. They have deep S grooves, they channel all the water away. I've had aquatreds, and various other supposed to be great water tires, but these Yokohamas are perfect.
They arent even supposed to be snow rated, but they work great in the Minnesota snow up here too.
I've read all the comments from other owners on Tirerack.com.....and they all love them as well.
Long lasting tire, definately worth the cost. I paid somethin like $92 a tire for my 17"ers. Which reminds me........what is the lug spacing pattern on an 84 GSL? If it's 114.3, I am swapping rims and tires from the Honda to my Seven.
