The reason that dry ice does not wet the surface on which it is stored is because dry ice is not made of water, but instead it is made with Carbon Dioxide. Because of the state of matter CO2 is at room temperature, it goes directly from a solid to a gas in a process called sublimation. Because of this, it never passes through the intermediate liquid state, thus not leaving anything on the surface on which it is set.

Does dry ice stick to a wet hand?
Yes
Is dry ice wet?
Dry ice is frozen Carbon Dioxide. This solid "sublimates"; it turns into a gas without being a liquid at all. So no. You can't get wet dry ice.
Is the temperature of wet surface different from dry surface?
yes. depends on the temperature of the liquid
When is the wet or dry season in the tundra?
The wet or dry season in the tundra is in the middle of the summer. The rest of the year? It's all ice and snow!

What is the difference between wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry painting?
"Wet on wet" or "wet in wet" means that you are applying wet paint (usually oil, artist's colours) to a surface that you have already painted which is still wet. If using oil, then your surface would be oil based, such as linseed oil or turpentine. This technique enables you to move and blend the paint to finish a painting in one sitting. "Wet on dry" means you are applying wet paint to a dry surface that you have painted earlier and allowed to dry. You can do this to either build up an area, or as in glazing, to achieve certain effects.

Even though you may think of snow as wet, it is actually ice and the tundra gets little precipitation, causing it to be dry
Why do wet tires move slower than wet tires?
There is a mistake in the question. But, any tyre, either wet or dry will only move as fast as the engine controls it. The difference comes in the lack of a wet tyre gripping the road surface causing slippage and loss of friction, compared to the more certain grip of a dry tyre on a dry surface.
