I had this same experience with my KO2s. Once they got to about half tread, they stunk on wet roads. Great tire up to that point.
OP, most of the options given in this thread will do what you need. Hard to beat any of the name brand tires today. My recommendation is to go at least with a D load range (8 ply) at a minimum. I have always used E (10 ply) and can’t tell you the last flat tire I have had in the last 20 years.
That's a good point on how they change with wear. They were definitely better on wet roads when new but even then I wasn't impressed with wet road performance.
