The makeup (in all its complexities) of the tire is but ONE factor in the problem of hydroplaning. The fact is speed and the amount of water between the tire rubber and the roadway, is the deciding factor in traction vs no traction (hydroplane). All the other variables are minutia. If the water is deep, slow down to the point the rubber you have makes contact with the road. All the ads and advertising about rubber compounds and road composition means nothing if the tire can not remove water faster than it gets there based on the amount of water present, and speed/weight of the vehicle/tire rotation. It is the driver who allows the conditions to degrade that allows hydroplaning. All the other secondary causes for each instance, is minutia. Drivers, your decision to drive faster than the tire can remove water from between the treads on serviceable roads, is the reason any vehicle/car hydroplaned. Seems to me differing tire brands and tread patterns discussions, only allow someone to act without caution when large amounts of water is on the roadways.
