Any of the modern sports touring tyres will do you right, but my personal preference would be for the Michelin Pilot Road 4's, although the previous gen 3s are pretty capable too. As far as I know nothing beats them in the wet (you will get caught in the wet at some point). I've run the Continental Conti Motions and they're okay, I've written a full review in the tyres section but my feeling is that they are a budget tyre with a price to reflect, nothing wrong with them just a bit outdated so it's up to you and your wallet. I've used Bridgestone BT21s too and wouldn't recommend them, especially for a new rider, as they're a bit unpredictable and can catch you out when you start to get some confidence with them.
