C, they aren't as bad in the wet as you think. They may peform worse in standing water than something like an f1 or uniroyal rainsport, but then so do other tyres.

You could reverse your argument and say, what if a child ran out onto the road in the dry, and you didn't have the 888's on? The dry stopping distance is significantly shorter with 888's so by having them on you saved that childs life...

To be honest, they shold only be used on 2nd cars for a number of reasons, mainly due to the noise/wearing out. People only usually take the car out in fair weather, if if does rain then just be very careful.
