Youd need much lower pressures but tyres will be way too hot, would be interesting to compare if pressures are closer to ideal but wrong compound. My testing so far seems to show your better off on high pressured slicks with very light rain if no big puddles are on track.
But I also did run some 20 minute races on slicks with pretty much dry tracks and way over pressure, was clearly slow but even with bright red temps it hung in but was way slower then slicks.
Those few races we had where it was very light sprinkles early then dry never got much water on track and so wets would never be competitive. When it starts much wetter and you start on wets you can extend their life by driving in puddles and by comparing lap times even in that q1 with not very heavy rain. Slicks were good on the outlap but even for Andy it was 3 or more seconds off the wets on his first lap.
I want to experiment with dynamic settings where it can actually get wet enough to need to change to wets but can avoid the dreaded yellow storm.
