    I'm currently using Specialized All Condition Elites, great puncture resistance and excellent confidence cranking them over in corners. Rolling resistance is gash however.

    I think the best wet tyres I've used were probably Conti Four Seasons.

    I've got no complaints about ProRace in the wet or dry - so on that basis ProGrip which are made for wet weather grip are probably pretty good. If you went for a slightly wider 25mm that would help too.
    it's a hard life if you don't weaken.

    Fit wider tyres and drop your pressure - 25mm clinchers running at 5-6 bar. Stelvios are good, durable training tyres but they're a bit firm for the wet IME and the same for GP4 Seasons - you want something with a flexible sidewall like a PR3
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    I've got Conti GP4000S & leave them on summer & winter - just drop the pressue a biit when it rains

    Have had good experiences with Conti 4 Seasons and GP4S this winter, giving good amounts of confidence in wet weather.
