Gatorskins are shite for grip. Try some GP3000s or 4000s instead.
I actually ride Michelin Pro Race 3/4s year-round on all my bikes including 650c. Very dependable and stable in the wet, and pretty durable for me (53kg, inflate to 90-100psi). They aren't cheap though, and I check them before every ride for bedded stuff and pick it out. Which is a bit high-maintenance for many riders, hmmv.
