5/32s is what you want.
Full tread RA1's are quite squirmy and a bit scary under braking, espesially with R brake pads.

Unless there is standing water all over the place, newly shaved tires will work fine on wet pavement. Your mind may tell you otherwise, but you have to push through it.
That doesn't mean you can run 10/10 in wet.

Also, by shaving the tires, you forego the need to run the tires in for several hundred miles to get past the release gel left on the tires. 
But, yea... I guess shaving works too.

I kinda figured the run down to Alton would take care of the mold release. But, yea... I guess shaving works too.
