I run FM-901s (205/55/15) now, but had Bridgestone S02s (205/55/16) not long ago... of the two, bridgestones are infamous for wet traction, but I've found FM901s to be alright as well. In my experience, FM901s are by no means "good", but "acceptable."
The Dunlops aren't quite as sticky as the S02s (even though I overheated the S-02s, they still gripped well), but already very grippy. The FM901s do tend to be louder (give more audible warning) and also have *much* softer sidewalls than the S02s. However, they also have less road noise than the S02s.
Both tires have VERY good dry traction, I think the S02s may be a tad stickier... but it may also be attributable to the low tread that was left when I sold the 16" wheels. The FM-901s seem easeir to lock up, but marginally.
My only gripe with the S02s is their lower treadwear (acceptable, though, at 180) and their loud freeway noise.
