Dave,
The treaded Goodyears ride great, once they are warm. Out of the garage on a cold day and the first few miles make you want to stop to make sure the spinners aren’t coming off of the wheels! After that they are fine and while bias ply they don’t seem to nibble as much as you might expect but you do feel the road. As for wet, I don't know. I live in California and there are so many nice days I never feel compelled to drive in the rain. I did it one time and one time only on the BFGs and at 70 mph I could stay dry or at 50 I could keep the car from hydroplaning. Pretty much no win!
Lew,
The look is right

and the traction/control is excellent. There is no compromise as I see it.
Cheers, Pete
