The Diablo is better in the wet than the Corsa, as Tyreman explained it to me - the Diablo has more silica than the Corsa which allows it to offer better grip in the wet. Thats my understanding anyway. I run Corsa's anyway because I ride conservatively in the wet.

Having said that, I found that the Supercorsa's offered a HUGE amount of grip in the *damp* at Rocky while we were there, I was surprised how much there was. BUT, they don't have the tread pattern to clear standing water.
