How do the Pirelli Diablo's rate in the wet?

I was put off Pirelli's after riding with a Pirelli Dragon MTR01 front and MTR02 rear in a midsummer cloud burst, I'm normally pretty quick in the wet, but found it very scary, no feed back and a lack of grip.

As good a tyre as I've ever ridden in the wet!
I use mine almost every day to commute in all weathers.
In the wet my cornering speeds are only a matter of 10mph down on those in the dry.
Damn good.
:P

Dang...so they're good on ST's as well then, and I'm trapped in the middle of a tyre cycle...

You know, an 010 on the back with probably 2-3K left on it and I need to replace the front. My fronts seem to last one and a half rears so it's going to be another 5-6K before I need to replace both together. I'm tempted by the £170 ride in ride out price for the trackday, but Mrs Jools is already giving me severe earache about spending £90 on a new front. I just couldn't get that AND a MotoGP ticket past her.

Never mind...looks like diablo's at the next full tyre change then.
