4seasons wet weather traction is so over rated. I had them for almost a year and I didn't notice any more confidence in cornering or any better forward traction. They are good tire but too expensive and overrated IMO. If you want better wet weather traction, I can vouch for the maxxis re-fuse. They're still not a night and day improvement but a noticeable one.
I would look at gatorskins for high mileage, I am still testing the re-fuse (they get lots of great reviews in this regard)
