That's too simplistic!

Tyres that are the CORRECT 'stickiness' for a KF1 could well be TOO sticky for you on a heavy prokart. Secondly, there's no such thing as JUST 'wet'! There are all MANNER of conditions which change by the MINUTE! What works in a light shower in summer will NOT work on a sleet-wet winter's evening!

But you already have THE BEST way of finding which is best fcor you! Which tyres are the ones that are WINNING your races???? You'll then know EXACTLY what works best at YUR tarck, on YOUR Type kart, in the coditions tyat YOU want to race.

Finally, be prepared! Wet tyres don't LAST! A brand new-sticky wet may WELL be 'shot' by the end of a the first drying heat! You're in to BIG expenses if you want to chase down THAT route!

You'd do MUCH better to get your organisers to decide on ONE, long lasting, wet tyre!.........and ENFORCING their rules!
