Racing Tyres in the wet

Hi all, I am about to start racing for the first time this season in the BARC North West Saloon car championship, having completed my ARDS last year, and I have a question on tyre choice. The tyre type is unrestricted and slick are allowed, so I have got myself some slicks for dry running.

However being the UK and the likely hood that it may be wet on a race weekend I was wondering what tyres people use for the rain. I have used semi-slick road legal tyres for track days and these are OK in the damp but are they any good in the wet or should I be using a more road based wet tyre?

The car I'm using is a ford fiesta xr2i with standard 13" wheels and 185 width.

What do other use on there race car during the wet times?

All advice welcomed,
Paul
