Light rain is a bigger worry than a heavy one

Brings up the oils, sits at the surface, tires pick it up and you are on ball bearings. Plus there is extra oil shaken off cars onto the road surface at stops and roundabouts (circles in the US).

A mist or just-beginning light rain can be really a problem on corners or curves or even just stopping, especially on surfaces where there are painted markings.

I've has 3 different tire brands/tread-pattern tires on my Boxsters. All were excellent in the rain. On the other hand, being summer tires, they were all deadly in the cold (below about 4C at the road surface).
