Default rain

I have to replace a rear tire...anybody know what is best for rain? I have Dunlops now, so I guess I should stick with that brand to match the front. Will be going on a Roadking.

I have ridden in a lot of rain, and find the Dunlop 402 touring tires to be very good. I have never had a problem.

Regards,

Bill
