Mine is Metzeler 880 Marathon (front and rear). Front is 130 and rear is 170. Its tire groove is well spaced apart.

My biggest concern are that if I am riding on highway and turning on curve (just like any riders normally do), I don't want slip off on wet highway at 60mph .

Actually, I DO NOT have any experience or training on wet road riding.

Personally, Would it be any difference if tires with more grooves handle wet road or not?

your tires are fine. you just need to build confidence with rain riding but don't push it. you can always wear a full-body armor and be daring
