I don't have a strong preference for any of the major tire brands, except I hate Goodyear and Cooper. I've had two cars with Goodyear Eagles, and they were utterly useless in rain. My Lincoln would easily break the rear tires loose at 45 mph with less than 1/4 throttle on wet roads, and my Thunderbird would just sit there and spin at a stoplight if I let the clutch out over 1200 rpm and didn't spend about 3 seconds feathering it. My dad had a few sets of various Coopers, all of they were noisy and sucked in the rain, plus the Cobras he had on his truck were almost bald in 12k miles.
I put a set of Bridgestone Turanza LS-H's on the Lincoln. Now I can floor it in the wet at 45 mph and they don't spin at all. They're very quiet as well, have a lot of grip, and are are wearing very well so far.
