I'm in a similar position. Currently have the MPSS and love them, but I only got about 15k miles from them. And in central Texas it's getting cooler and wetter, so I'd like to go with an A/S tire for this next go around. Might be able to time it right and get new tires by the summer to go back to summer tires (I drive a lot).
Anyone have experience with the G-Force Comp-2 A/S? Best rated tire on TireRack, though I know that's from consumer reviews, and they're cheap at $100/tire. Willing to spend more if it's worth it though. I know I won't get the dry traction I have with MPSS, but I'm looking for the best dry traction i can get while increasing the hydroplaning resistance and wet traction.
And for those wondering how the OP was going 60 mph with standing water...we live in Texas. 2-lane county highways that often have standing water are 70 mph, not that you should go that fast. 4-lane highways are 75 mph and occasionally have standing water. In all seriousness you'll get run off the road by an 18-wheeler in Texas if you're going less than 60 mph on any decent-sized highway. So whether the OP was going 60 mph or 50 mph, that's a reasonable speed to go in Texas when it's raining. Just a fact of life. We're just trying to get the best hydroplaning resistance and wet traction we can and then go from there.
