You're wrong, actually...at least from my experience and EVO Magazine's experience. They placed 7th in a comparison of 8 maximum performance tires because of their awful wet traction.

I've owned the Potenza S-03, Dunlop SP9000, and now the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3. My impressions:

Dry
1) Potenza
1) Goodyear
3) Dunlop

Braking
1) Goodyear
2) Potenza
3) Dunlop

Wet
1) Goodyear
1) Dunlop
3) Potenza

Road Feel
1) Goodyear
2) Potenza
3) Dunlop

Threshold handling
1) Goodyear (very, very predictable)
2) Potenza (predictable but had a nasty tendency for wanting to kick the ass end around at the limit...pretty scary. And when these tires lost grip, they lost it all at once)
3) Dunlop (not nearly as good in the dry as in the wet)

Looks
1) Goodyear
2) Dunlop
3) Potenza

Both me and EVO are unbiased. I thought the S-03's were the best thing available until I read that shocking article (shocking at the time) and put some F1 GS-D3's on my car h:
