Replacement tires

[flescher]

Just turned 16,000 and need new rear tires and I don't even drag race.
Two questions please:
1. Do people run the same size tire front and rear? Sure would make life simple.
2. Does anyone know which replacements might be considered as the best rain tires?

I'm at 70% tread at 14,000 mi. Starting to notice less traction and grip on corners.

Regards,
