Treaded tires XC throw way less water than slick\semi-slicks I find.
I just run treaded tires wet season.
Moist crotch, my fave 2 words in the english language.
I'm too lazy to take 'offenders' off.
Enough trouble switching out my tires constantly (I need 2 wheelsets).
Fenders are fine, I usually just run a rear as my front tire is always an aggressive tread.
My knobbed rear throws little water, if I use a semi-slick, I need plastic shorts or a fender.
