Tyre pressure: running lower pressures in the rain will increase the amount of grip, as the surface area of the tyre in contact with the road will increase.

Tyre compound and width: tyre compounds differ greatly with regards to their ability to grip in the wet. Wider tyres will give you a greater contact patch than a narrow tyre, and as they allow you to run lower pressures, this effect is amplified further

Avoid drain covers and white lines: Grip on metal drain covers and white lines will be basically non-existent in the wet, so avoid them where possible. If you can’t, then momentarily straighten the bike up while you cross them.

Braking: Braking quite simply takes longer in the wet. Make sure you always start braking a little earlier than you would in the dry. This is even more important as braking while turning in the wet is a sure fire way to get acquainted with the tarmac!

Give yourself more room: If you’re riding in a group in the wet, just back off the rider in front a little bit. That way, if anything goes wrong with them, you’ll have a bit more time to react.
