Your words. It just isn't so. Tires so rarely slip on wet road surfaces, that experienced riders are willing to say that they never do.


You aren't talking about wet leaves, or wet wooden bridges, or wet metal gratings, or dry sand, are you? Those may slip, and you do have to take care with them.


When mountain biking in the wet, one has to be careful on exposed/worn smooth tree roots, as they will cause your tires to slip for sure.
