Brembos, worth it?
Hey, I used to think all seasons would be better in the rain too, but I learned it's a very common misconception.
In actuality, summer tires perform better than all seasons in both dry AND wet.
All seasons are an all-around compromise, in that they perform "acceptably" in dry, wet, and in snow.
Summer tires are the king in both wet and dry conditions. The only condition in which they perform worse than all seasons is when the temperature is below 40 degrees or in snow.
Also anecdotally, I just put on a set of Nitto Invo (255/50/17) summer tires last week, and they are AMAZING in the rain.
