I'm trying to stay with all seasons sized at 205/60/16 and considering the Pirelli Cinturato P7s, but I keep coming across bad performance in the wet. I'm having difficulty seeing any better suggestions for this specific size. I'm seeing the Continental DWS06s come up a lot which would be my front runner but they don't come in 205/60/16 and I'm pretty adverse about going to another size as I don't want it to affect my speedometer & odometer readings. Any suggestions are welcome other than saying go winter tires or 18"; unfortunately I don't have the money or space for two sets.

I am very happy so far with my Michelin CROSSCLIMATE+ XL in 205/60/16 since fitted in August this year. Tested as best overall all season tyre by the Dutch AA in 2016, but maybe not available in your market. It was qualified as a very good summer tyre and as a bit better than adequate winter tyre.

I replaced the OEM tires with General Altimax RT34 (H-rated) and they have excellent "wet" performance. Also, worth consideration are the Continental TrueContacts but got the Altimax tires since they were on sale (btw Continental owns General Tire).

Thanks Ronnie. Unfortunately it sooks like they don't have those in the states. Seems like they'd be a solid pick though. Maybe I can cross-check the pictures of the tread with some US market tires from them.
LeeMazda3, how many miles do you have on those? I was seeing people say that they start to drop off a bit hard for inclement weather after about 10-15k miles.
Thanks for the replies.

I have just a bit over 10k miles on the RT43s and they still give excellent performance; note that they are inflated to 38-40PSI since they have a more flexible sidewall than the OEM Yokohamas.
