i use avon roadrunners on my cbx and they're great in the wet, cheap as well.
get about 3k out of the rear.
before that had metzeler on and they were shite tbh, wouldn't lean but last forever.

tony at pitstop in lowton has some decent part worn if you only want summat for now...

Can recommend Roadsmarts and Michelin Pilot Roads for the winter, and 021's for the summer but (purely personal opinion) they didn't give me as much feedback in the wet.
Gripped ok, just didn't tell me what they were up to.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Perrelli's are supposed to be a good wet tyre too, just to add another one into the mix.
Only problem is though in the cold and with all the slimey salt on the road, none of them work that well :sad2
Just got to take it steady and don't lean over till spring :wink:
