I use either Toyo 888 or Yoko A048. There may well be better tyres in the wet but for the budget conscious like you and me, its just an added expense that I can't justify.

I usually take a couple of spare tyres with me in case of a puncture (I change a pair) and these will usually have more tread on them. I keep an eye on the weather forecast and if its forecast to be wet than I'll put the set of tyres on with the most tread depth. and drive carefully, Lol.

Others will probably tell you different but maybe their budget and aspirations are different! I'll say it again; the whole point of List 1B is that you should not have to change tyres for the wet. This also saves the organisers time as if they declare a wet race they don't have to worry about racers having to change tyres on the grid and risking the timetable.
