a great tire and you can always find discounts on are Bridgestone Potenza's

I put Fuzion HR1's on my '03 coupe when I had to replace tires, I had them on 17 x 7.5 Enkei rims, 215/45, the same size as the stock Si tires, they are cheaper than many other brands out there but handles pretty well in the wet

While I would nominally agree. The all-seasons are pretty rubbish in anything resembling any type of weather. I would also consider Potenzas.

I had a dream I hydroplaned, skidded into a wall last night, weird. Yes our all-seasons are quite crappy in the rain, but provided big enough water puddles you can hydroplane w/ any tire, regardless of quality. I'd say slow down, and don't put trust in the tires not hydroplaning.

I've planed a little two years ago when we had the heavy rains here...I was only going 40-ish. I went over a bump, still had my foot down on the same position, and lost steering feel altogether. I did slow down, but that little experience made me doubt the tires.

Please note that you can not compare UTQG ratings across tire brands. Each brand uses it's own control tire.
