Yep we get plenty rain in this part of Scotland (on West coast) I can assure you :rollin - http://mototirereviews.com/michelin-pilot-power/
seems to review well for dry and wet - but not track use , couldnt get my choice of ZZR tyre choice in the size though the rears are same. Though I might of been tempted by the Pirelli in your link as these are higher spec than the ones on my Kwak and not much more. the front is a 120/60 on the ZZR, and I think the ZZR must share sizes with alot of things given price ? I got rear tyre for same price as this front :eek and a front Pirelli can be had for 40 notes ( being of Yorkshire descent and living in Scotland means obligatory miser lol :rollin )
Do not feel the urge to try and go bigger tyre wise, a few people will disagree with me, but generally stick to the given sizes for the bike. Years of testing came up with these for a reason, they are the best sizes for both bike and rider.
West coast of Scotland eh? Every shite weather report i read about for the "UK" tends to be your weather, but where you suffer the weather i have to deal with the whole world's worst ever drivers in London, so it kind of levels things out in a way. :\

Absolutely we have the worst weather and best biking roads, and least traffic - If ever you want a good biking road try the A816 Lochgilphead to Oban- you'll need to do it twice, once to size it up and enjoy the scenery and then again to blast it! :lol
Oban to Fort William is good to - in fact anywhere once your out of Glasgow on the A82/A83 - well you just cant go wrong
