Need tire recommendation for wet roads

I've read the Porsche hydroplane warning and other posts here regarding the same. Living in the Pacific NW, wet roads are a given. We don't get the deluges like in the south and east but wet roads during many months of the year. Since I want to drive the GT3 vs looking at it in my gargage, I'm looking for any of your first hand experiences with various tires on wet roads and any recommendations for wet weather tires.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I run Michelin PS2's in the wet on my 997, you may also want to look at the Yokohama or Bridgestone, they both seem to do very well in the wet.

I run MPSC in the dry summer months, but they are horrible in the wet weather.

Michellin PS2s IMO are the best handling street rain tires you can get.. Awesome for highway driving and excellent in the dry as well.

I run my PS2s as back up rain tire on track with my RWD E92 M3 pushing upward of 450

I live in taiwan where it can rain w/o warning any day of the year. Just went from MPSC to Michellin PS2. Perfect for street driving, beside we don't have a track here so I'm never going back to MPSC
