The best you could do might be a full tread kumho - in a narrower size, say
205/55/14, as any R tire compound will top a street tire in the rain, until
you get to deep standing water, and even then, once you splash through....
Not too many other race tires with real tread left :(
You could also use some G-force KD street tires, or yok A032, but they may
be a little noisy for street use.
