I put some kevlar belted Specialized Armadillo Nimbus EX tires (26X1.50) on my Fuji MTB that I commute with in LA.
They're great for avoiding flats, but they're really really low traction in the rain.
I've fallen a couple times lately - not such a good thing in LA traffic.
Anyone have a suggestion for a good rain tire - hopefully flat resistant as well?

Thanks,
Dennis
