Here's the scoop on Michelin's latest. They're calling the "Hydroedge" their premier passenger car tire. It is designed to deliver optimized performance in any condition. Excerpts from the brochure are:
Sporty directional tread pattern; quiet ride; top marks in rain, freezing, sweltering heat, or dry conditions; maximized tread life(85,000 mile warranty); maximized hydroplaning resistance; DURABLACK sidewall to maintain the tires black appearance; all-season silica tread compound.
I encountered heavy rain on the way home from Norm's and the rain performance claims are justified. I'll post picture's of the tread later. $681 for the set ($140 ea), balanced and installed in B'ham, Ala.
