Maybe the increased slipperiness indicates that you've worn through the grippy tread formulation and are now down to a layer that's less slippery but tougher/more durable. Just guessing.
That is quite possible. I not only have to chose my line through turns in the rain carefully but I also must be very cautious when approaching stop lights or stop signs on any kind of downhill. My rear wheel has literally started skidding on more than one occasion. I had to use every trick I could think of to remain upright. I also have had the rear tire cut loose on wet tarmac when I am standing to climb. I attributed this phenomenon more to weight distribution since my super compact frame has my climbing position pretty far forward.
