Best MT for rain?

I got a DD and want the best MT out there for rain. Kinda tough one but that is why I am asking. I am leaning towards the Super Swamper Truxs MT. I know a mud tire is not great in the rain but I want the to know what you guys think.

Any mud tire that is siped or you can have siped would be better for the rain. ProComp's mud terrain is already siped, or you can have a tire like BFG's mud terrain siped by some tire shops.

Your'e right on with your Trxus notion. I just tested the last obstacle(snow-ice) with my Trxus MT's, and I must say these tires have ruled on every terrain that I have put them through. I have had a few different MT's in the past, and these tires have surpassed all in traction quality. The only downfall is the wear, they will probably wear a little quicker than some, but the traction you get from the soft compound is well worth it.

I have to agree, the trxus is a darn good tire. I was a die hard BFG guy and decided to give them a try. live in florida and had no problems in a downpour, I have about 7000 miles on my and the only downfall is the tire wear. I also found out that you need to rotate every 3K miles to keep lasting a bit longer.

Im going to get my Truxs MT's next month. I only do 90 miles a week for work so Im shure the low daily miles will help with the wear.
