I don't expect to have any grip on manhole covers. You do get the odd situation where you might not be able to react/ride around them though, particularly if you're in traffic and don't know the road, e.g. this impressive quad-combo on a right-hand turn (I think they also recently added some extra ones on the road you're turning into there, bonus).
But, yeah, exactly, wet pavé I'd expect the C*nti 4 Season to handle, you know, a bit better than a heavily worn, basically slick, significantly cheaper racing tyre. In fact the opposite seems to be true. Rubino Pros got grip, yo.
