I have a set of PS2s on my coupe and I have never noticed any problems with hydroplaning. This is good info because I was considering buying the Conti's as my next set of tires because the PS2s are truly summer only . The PS2s absolutely suck at dealing with even the smallest amounts of frozen precipitation. They stick amazingly well as long as the temperature stays above freezing, so if you live in Houston, I'd say go for it.
