Wet weather grip must be a relative thing. I use the Conti Ultra Gatorskins because I think they work really well in wet weather. We do tend to get quite a bit of rain here, and I might just be used to it- or go around corners really slow
. I used to really like Conti Ultra 2000's when they were available. That is what I'm running on my winter road bike now-25mm.
Every once in a while I try other brands of tire that are on sale, but always end up going back to Continental when an important trip is coming up.
