I have a few options next year when I get round to swapping the tyres on the street triple.

100% silica should be very good in the wet but mean it'll struggle when hot in my experience

The Rosso Corsa is a road tyre with a track bias.

The current Rossos I've heard are great at dry weather but are slippery when it becomes wet...which means there s no point to them in the UK

I have to say in the cold and wet of yesterday my Rosso Corsa's were ok. Bike and good suspension helps, but they were ok, which surprised me.

If you're not seeing the TC light constantly flickering it means you're not trying.

I do miss that TC safety net at this time of year. Thankfully the Versys is heavy and under powered so it's not really an issue

Agree with Kwacky.
Heavy and low powered bike with suitable tyres and a progressive throttle and TC is not really needed.
In those circumstances I would be glad of abs as a safety net more than TC.
