Yea, that's correct about your perception of the weather here, except that during the winter (december/january), it can rain VERY hard. Also remember that being in the pacific, we are subject to hurricanes and typhoons (or weather similar to it) which can cause a LOT of rain during those seasons. Lava dust is not a problem except on the big island, which has active volcanos (and that is not the island I live on).

I will probably go back to costco and check the model of that michelin they sell. Since the Tundra is more of an unsual size tire, the price clubs usually only have one or 2 models of tires that will fit, if any. Before when I first got my truck, costco did not carry ANY tires that would fit, and that's also partly the reason I went to firestone also.

I still think as a general rule, an all season would preform on average better in the wet (although there may be exceptions). Otherwise, there would be no need for that classificaiton. But I am also limited to what type of tires they make for my truck and if all they make are highway/summer tires, then I'd want the best wet-performing tire that I can find.
