Don't know your climate very well.. I live in Syracuse, NY, where we have severely snowy winters and subzero (F) temps on occasion, and very hot and humid summers. No matter what your favorite season, we have a severe version of it. All-season tires are a non-starter unless you have a 4wd or AWD vehicle, and even then they ain't necessarily the best option.
In the winter, I've had great experiences w/ Blizzaks, Continental ExtremeWinterContact, and Michelin X-Ice tires. Go with whichever you can find a good deal on.
HOWEVER, if you're talking PRIMARILY rain and black ice, all bets are off. My winter tires all universally stunk in rain once the tread was worn even a little bit. The best tires in black ice conditions are studded.. virtually the ONLY tires that'll work on black ice. That, and/or skill and caution on the part of the driver. Rain? Good all-season or summer tires. Snow? See previous paragraph.
Just my experience.. hope it's a bit helpful.
Best to ya,
Barry
