Post subject: Riding in the rain

When it's raining, one can often see "tracks" from the
cars that have passed in on color and a band in the middle
in an other color. I've been wondering which one offers
best grip for the tires of a bike.

Intuitively, i'd go with the middle part (it looks more
gripfriendly, somehow, plus one gets to ride in the
middle of the road without "touching" the other lanes).
On the other hand, it just stroke me that the water
should be more heat up and spread by the tires, hence
more prone to evaporate.

What would you recommend? Why?
