Dunlop GT501 very good in the wet and good all around grip

I have found the ME33 Metzler to be a great front tyre, good in the wet, grips when cold, great steering stability etc etc. A good road tyre, should wear well. I have a Dunlop GT301 on the back, similar to the 501. Good tyre also in all conditions.

If you look at any other tyres, make sure they are rated for the weight of the bike..I had a BT45 Bridgestone on the front before, it chewed out rather badly (but gripped ok) because it was more for a lighter bike. There are a few other choices around now since I put these on.

I have Avon Roadrunners on one of my bikes & Pirelli Sport Demons on the other. The Roadrunners helped keep me upright in a heavy downpour & last a long time. The Pirellis seem to be better in dry conditions (Haven't tried them on wet roads yet) But seem to wear quicker.
