Are you racing? TT? If so, buy Hoosier wets for those conditions and be done with it.
Or are you trying to become a faster, more skilled driver? Then run the NT-01s in the wet. You will absolutely be forced to smooth your inputs and look ahead more.
I ran R888s on my Miata in the rain/wet, then through drying condition, into completely dry in the afternoon. And drove my buddies WRL GT3 Miata on worn R1Rs in the wet (track was so slick in the morning on the R1Rs I nearly lost it on the yellow flagged out lap!).
No ABS/TC/VSC, etc. Trying to drive quickly in the wet is a great tool for slowing down your inputs, finding grip "off-line" etc. You're going to be significantly slower in the wet anyway. Might as well be honing your skills.
