So here's my question: how well would semi-slick road tires (like the Continental GP's Continental Grand Prix Road Bike Tyre | Chain Reaction Cycles) work on wet roards? I currently have these on my flat-bar road bike.

Or would it be a good idea to get something like this: Continental Grand Prix 4 Season Vectran Bike Tyre | Chain Reaction Cycles

I'm thinking of slapping some fenders on my flat-bar road bike to use as a wet weather commuter while I have studded tires on my foul-weather commuter.
