Winter road tyres

[m444ttb]

My cycling buddy and I are both new to road cycling and today was our first experience of the wet. Following a few moments including my friend spectacularly dropping it we were wondering whether you guys change to tyres more suited wet/damp and colder conditions? If so reconditions would be most appreciated. Both our bikes are currently on standard for Schwalbe Lugano tyres.

Somewhere in the next few replies will be 'Continental GP 4Seasons are godawful' won't there?! I did wonder whether this would be a bit like winter tyres for cars, I.e. a bit of a contentious issue.
