"My alighment went bad".............not maintaining to spec is a form of abuse.
"my rears are gone at 14,5 and i dont abuse my car".

Tire selection depends on how much less performance you are willing to accept and how much you redesign the suspension with another brand of tire.

Rain performance is a function of inflation pressure and soft fast wearing tire compounds..........tread design [only depth] has little to do with it after 8,000 miles.
As the miles build and the compound hardens it gets significantly worse.

If cost wasn't an issue 8,000 mile replacements would be the norm to optimize rain performance.
