    O.K., I hate to be so stupid but is there any evidence to suggest that
    a lower tire pressure will help traction in the rain?

    On a paved surface, no. On a slippery surface, traction can decrease
    if the load is spread over a greater area without changing anything
    else. Increasing the tire pressure is not a good idea in my opinion,
    though, either.

    On a mountain bike in a trail-riding situation, reducing the tire
    pressure has its own set of hazards.
