Wide tires + rain + daily driver = what traction

Looks like the tread wear of the t/a's is 400... like a skateboard wheel.
No wonder the slant can boil the one tire even on a sunny FL day.

So it sounds like I'll be good with a wider tire if I go with something softer.
I guess I hadn't thought about the fact that once I go to a 17" rim all kinds of performance tires become available, not like the 15" hyper miler family car tires out there. Thanks
