Default Rain season coming

So what does everyone recomend for the rainy season/cold season for tires? I've about run the summer tour on the same tires, wierd part is, the front tire wore down alot faster than the rear. Any ideas? Other than that what do those of you who run year round have for rain/cold tires and is there a certain PSI pressure to run for the rain?

I'm not a technology expert but I'm a rain riding pro and I can ride everywhere on d-208s at regular psi.

I like the Dunlop 218 for the rain. The tread pattern gives good grip even in down pours. If its's cold where your at drop the psi a few pounds. In N.Y. it's been getting real cool at night (high 40s) and I run 28psi in the front and 32 psi rear on powers. Going to put my 218s back on soon and run the same psi in them.
