I was wondering, has anyone ever witness the rain stop before reaching the 100% wetness of the track?

I've seen rain that didn't last long after reaching it, but never before the mark.

So, when it starts raining do we always have to expect it to go to full wet before drying out?
 
Rain varies in how long it lasts. I've seen it stop in the 40s, 50, and 80s. It doesn't always get to 100 unless the host of a lobby or a single user in practice mode / arcade sets it to 100. It's a bit rare in my opinion to see it actually get to 100%.

I think the better question would be:

Why can I drive faster on soft racing tires in 100% rain than I can on full wets?

That doesn't have anything to do with it. That is definitely not the real question as far as I can tell.

My point is/was: Nothing about the rain in GT5 seems realistic.

Well, an answer to the question you made is because you set Grip Reduction to Low. When set too low, Rain tires are the worst option, in Real, Rain tires are the best option.

Use them in A-spec at Suzuka in the Gran Turismo! They must have it set to low.
 
I did a practice run at Spa earlier and it started at 17% and for about 5 minutes while it was still raining, the % bounced between 17% for ~90% of the lap whereas it dropped to 16% anytime I was on the Kemmel straight. It continued to do this as rain was still falling and it dropped to 14% when the rain finally stopped. I finished the practice run around the time it dropped below 10%.

So no, it doesn't always go to 100%.
 
This weekend I had a fantastic race on spa Online. Weather at 25% and changeble 10. After 3 laps it started raining. After lap 7 it stopped, to start again on the end of lap 9. It was awesome. The % rain on the road went to 3 %. I had a blast!
