Should I Replace Stock Tires Early?

I just got my pcx in the summer. It's rained a couple of times recently and I've noticed that the stock tires are slippery when the roads are wet. My questions are for those who have experience with aftermarket tires compared to stock. My scoot and the stock tires has only 1500 miles, but I'm contemplating replacing them way early if it's worth it. I've seen on a few posts that Michelin City Grip tires are highly regarded. For the front and rear set: Bike Bandit $103, Revzilla $117 (I order most stuff from here so I hope they'll price match).
1) What tires do you have and how much did they set you back?
2) Does your aftermarket tires have noticeably better grip on wet roads compared to stock?
3) Is it worth spending the extra $ to replace the tires early if you'd be riding on wet roads 75% of the time?
Thanks for sharing.

by you you
1. Different country so price isn't comparable
2. Michelin city grips. Didn't notice any difference but I ride really carefully in the rain
3. Not for me but only you can decide for you
