Wet weather / winter tyre

Had my bike for a week, 2nd hand. It has come with Bridgestone BT020 rear, and a DUNLOP DT220 front. the roads in and around sheffield are in a nightmare condition after the snow, and i am feeling the bike "move" in corners or if the surface is a little suspect, add that with then being wet, life is not to comfortable.

I use the bike as my main transport, mainly A and B roads, with a bit of dual carriage way.

Any suggestions on a good wet weather / winter tyre, that is not going to shred to badly in the dry??

Avon Distanzia, best allround XTX tyre. Some love the looks some hate them. I think they are excellent.

Anakees??

They always felt grippy in wet or dry conditions - on tarmac that is.

For an XT-X I would say either Avon road legal wets- clicky or Goldspeed road tyres clicky
