Firstly you need to reduce speed (drive to conditions) - any tyre will eventually float if you are going fast enough in bad conditions.

what do you mean ground pressure? wider tires doesnt make the car heavier. it will make the contact patch shorter probably so a larger percentage of the contact patch is used to move water rather than asphalt.
