I am confused here with video, are we discussing more grip, or quicker lap times, because those two metrics do not always equate, and there are many other factors at play in that undefined comparison. I believe in normal driving conditions more rubber contact on the road equals more grip, everything else being equal, period.
Me personally, I favor dry grip over wet traction, when its wet and depending on how wet, I simply lower my speed to my comfort level. When its dry, I seek all the grip I can achieve/afford, thinking a reduction in stopping distance alone in mere feet can be the difference between a totaled car with injuries vs say a spilled drink. Handling is a more complicated issue.
