well when its raining i would hope that noone is trying to push their tires to the limit cause thats hella dangerous no matter where you are, so even if a tire didnt perform well when its wet you should be reducing your speed to avoid having to find out if your tires handle well when its wet.
Anyways some REALLY cheap tires that were really grippy that i had before my michelins were Nankangs NS-1. As for being a drag tire.........well seeing how i have 105 flywheel horses i would have no idea if theyd be good for drag traction, although they did very well in handling, you can pick em up for like 60 bucks a tire, theyre hella cheap. They were way way way grippier than the kumho 711s i had and about the same price. They got directional tread too so i never hydroplaned, but i reduce speed like crazy when its wet so im not positive on wet handling.
