Default Hydroplaning

Hello all,

I recently bought a used 05' Ltd Roadster with ContiSportContact 2 tires. The car has 10,000 miles on it and there is a good deal of tread left. (I had the tires looked at by Discount Tire). It drives and handles well except when I get over about 52 MPH in the rain. The back end has broken loose a little each time. I do not like that feeling!

Are the Michelin PS2's that much better in the rain? I live in Houston so snow is not a concern just alot of rain. If not the Michelin's what other tire would you suggest? I have checked the air pressure and it's fine I hate getting rid of tires that are still good but...I would rather not wreck the car.
