Agreed. We found or Michelin winter tires were massively better in the wet
How many miles do you have on yours? We have ~30,000Km on the OE GY's and they sure aren't wearing like iron, despite the poor traction. I had a similar complaint about the Eagle's on my SRT-8, which were equally awful.
28K+ miles. I was driving down the overpass (on a Florida storm) couple weeks ago, doing about 30mph, and the truck slid off when I turned to take the street...scary.
The 18" OE LRR tires on my 20 Ram seem fine in the dry so far. I did notice that they are only 37 lbs. Most tires in this size (275/65/18) are at least 40 lbs, including the Michelin's. I do value fuel economy in this truck so I may need to replace with something with similar LRR attributes (and I'm sure the 10% weight savings is a component) when the time comes.
Based on the pictures you've shared, your tires are significantly different from ours. These are what the ones on my wife's truck look like:
