An interesting post GLC_Chicago which I'm sure will spark some replies. I have the Hankook's on my GLC and the wife has Yokohama's (both 18" wheels with 235/60's) and being from the North East of England we've had plenty of wet weather experience so far... Both have been planted in the wet and even trying to provoke mine into letting go on corners only gets the traction control to cut in and spoil the fun. On motorways & dual carriageways in a heavy downpour they are very good, only getting 'interesting' in deep puddles, but you would expect that to be fair. In 'normal' wet conditions both cars have been stable & sure footed. Could be the tyres ?
Interestingly I had Pirelli Scorpion Verde's on my previous M class (265/45/20) and they were surprisingly grippy in the wet and remarkably good in standing water, resisting hydroplaning well beyond a point you would expect it to happen. They didn't last very long however.
