So I'm hoping a fatter tire will help with the issue.
ROFL nothing can really stop you hydroplaning @60mph if the puddle is large enough(unless we are talking wet grip dedicated tires). Rule of thumb is if you don't want to hydroplane in large storm don't drive above 70 km/h (about 45 mph). That's just physics, I've hydroplaned with all the above mentioned tires (except maybe 1 or 2 I haven't tried) the only way around it is to slow down.
