I have the Corsa's (not system) and I love them. The sidewall is so stiff you can sit on the unmounted tire and it will hardly budge.
During the "rainy season" I just mount my spare wheels and P-Zeros.

The latter was designed as an aggressive street tire with an R-compound and is perfectly suitable in the rain due to added grooves. There is a Direzionale for the front and an Asimmetrico for the rear. This tire is OEM on the GT3 RS, GT2, Challenge Stradale and 575MMHGTC. Check it out on Pirelli's web site:

P-Zero Corsa Asimmetrico: http://www.us.pirelli.com/en_US/tyre...roductid=17428
P-Zero Corsa Direzionale: http://www.us.pirelli.com/en_US/tyre...roductid=17429
P-Zero Corsa Asimmetrico: http://www.us.pirelli.com/en_US/tyre...roductid=17428
These look good, but the smallest size for the Asimmetricos is 295/30/18. Wonder why they don't provide 285.... (I have reached the limit with my 11" BBS wheels in the rear...)
