I am looking for recommendations for a good tire for riding in the rain. Looking for something 700x25-28.
Thanks

I've had good luck with my Conti 4000s tires - even running 23mm's on damp pavement. I *think* they came out with a 25mm tire.

I use Conti 4 Season's in 700 x 28. No trouble in the rain.

My faves as well, and I've used both 25 and 28.
