Very much so. That's why I went with an "all season" tire with particular attention to it's wet performance. You really should take your driving into account when selecting a tire. I no longer autocross or do track days...but I do drive went roads over 2 and 4 lane highways a lot...thus the conti choice I mentioned above.
