I heard the RE003 get noisy, but don't know how true that is. If you're after a road tyre, the Michelin PS3s are supposidely quite amazing in the wet (I've seen this although not driven on them).
Part out your car, scrap the shell, buy another car that isn't shit. If you manage to find another S-chassis then you can reuse your parts. If not, sell all the parts and start fresh.
Also, get new friends.
