I have no problem crashing with my wide and cushy tires - no rain needed!
It's usually when I make too sharp of a certain, at a certain speed or higher. Doing said turn on sand or gravel increases the odds significantly.
Everyone saids rim brakes like mine don't work in rain, so the fear of not being able to stop usually prevents me from going fast in the rain, and thus prevents me from crashing due to bad turns. Turns out my brakes work just fine in the wet, btw, but no reason to push it.
