Why wet traction? Well dry traction is a given for everyone except Mr. Street-racer but we all butt-clench when we break traction on wet pavement. Wet traction can also be a predictor of snow traction.
Agree about wet traction.

I've read that in tread design, though, that wet traction and snow traction are often *inversely* related in tread design.
