Need Wet Traction Tire Recommendation

[Lumpydogs]

Need tire suggestion.

1) Primary concern wet traction
2) Cost
3) Tread Life (only put 3k miles a year on the car)

Car is a 3300 lb cobra with all delrin/hard bushings, coil overs & 2000 Cobra R front brakes. Gutted interior and full exhaust, so tire noise will not be heard. The car gets some nice weather street driving and a few HPDEs each year. I run R compound track tires in the dry weather. I would like the option of running the street tires if the track is wet.

BFG KDW2.. Best tires in wet weather Ive ever used. They are a very predictable tire, in rain, they will spin but its hard finding any tire that wont with 500+hp. I had them on a cruise and could push them pretty hard without worrying.. They are a bit expensive but you get what you pay for.
