rain tires?

It's started raining here in Northern California, and it will rain on and off through next April.

Last winter, my first winter of riding after a long, long layoff, it was easy, I just didn't ride when it rained, and waited for the roads to dry completely before I started riding again.

I'd like to ride more this winter, but I'm concerned about my tires.

I'm running Michelin Krylion Carbons. They have great durability, great traction on dry roads, but have no tread. Are they safe for wet roads, or should I switch to something else? And if I should switch, any recommendations?
