It doesn't appear to carry much water around it in the wet which maybe a good thing, but main mean there's a film of water at the contact patch.
I've found them good in wet weather,no complaints
The most sure footed (road/touring) tyres for these patches I found are Continental Contact II. 700x32. - may not be good in other respects, but grip is good.
It's not strange when you look at tread patternAnd those tyres are 28mm wide on a 19mm rim.
Ah! My mistake
I thought you meant Sport Contact II,which are a pimply slick.
The tread in the picture could help,slicks and mud don't go together very well.
