[net.auto] Michelin All-Weather vs. Summer tires - which to get for bad weather?

wcs@ho95e.UUCP (x0705) (01/26/86)

My van needs new tires again, and I want to get something that handles
well in wet weather.  Michelin makes two models of tire in the size I
need (225/75R15) - the XA4 all-weather and the XHH summer tire (which has
replaced the XM).  I'd normally get the all-weather tire, but one of
the dealers tells me it as a closed center rib, and does badly in wet
weather, though it's ok in snow.  Since this is New Jersey, it rains a
lot more than it snows here.   Does anyone have any experience with
either of these tires, especially in rain?
