dually rain tires

I recently moved about an hour east of Dallas from Kansas and my tire needs have changed greatly, no snow, really no mud (I live in the sand plus have 4X4 for emergencies). I frequently drive into Dallas to Love Field to fly for my business.

Like California with a little or alot of moisture the roads become slick like "ice" from the exhaust and oil on the roads. It's unbelievable! It also rains alot where I live.

I have to keep an e-rated tire on my dually but I don't need mud and snow tires anymore.

What do you feel is the best tire in these types of conditions? I haven't seen roads get this slick since I drove from LA to San Fran several years ago and with all the crazy drivers I want the mjost control I can get.

Thanks
