What do people recommend for tyres? Wanting something that will grip a bit in the wet.

Thanks

I use heidenau K47 tyres. Good tyre in the wet and not bad in the dry either. The only downside is the low speed rating compared to some other makes but I don't travel over 100kmh for any length of time anyway. I've never tried michelin city grips but they look the part.
