On the street, yes for several reasons including reduced pace as well as tires that are designed for better wet grip

On track, almost. It moves the braking point and turn in point earlier slightly but not by much. I also don't use as much lean in the wet (likely mental more than anything else, just need more track time in wet conditions) while turning in slightly slower but still quick. How big of a difference depends on conditions. The goal is still to get the bike leaned over as quickly as possible
