And there are like 3 streams just going across the highway about 2 foot wide. As soon as i go over each puddle, i feel the car understeers and goes straight till i get over the puddle. Does this happen to others as well? or is it just my tires dying on me. It's pretty sketchy feeling, since this never happened to me driving other cars.
You've already answered your question

Stock tires are bad in heavy rain as it is, but being worn exacerbates the effect of aquaplaning.

If you want summers that perform well in the rain get Michelin Pilot super sports


If you want ok performance in heavy rain, very light snow and dry with a trade-off to a bit of handling get some all seasons
