Your tire lost traction because they were past their limit. Either slow down or buy better tires, simple as that.

If your car cant handle 50 or 55, then slow down more

Have to agree with cossie on this. I've gone as slow as 20mph on the highway for super heavy rain (previous sports car). Granted, the tread was pretty low but that was the speed where the car felt like it had traction. Wider tires will make a car hydroplane at lower speeds and we have wide tires.

BTW, the stock re050s have been awesome in the rain. At least the first winter on them.
