hydroplane is very normal when you are almost out of tread on a rainy day
However having low tread on a warm dry day will give you amazing grip.
My sugguestion is go for dunlop starspec, it will probably wear a bit slower than Pzero and hook up just as good. Also very reasonable traction in the rain. A lot cheaper than Pzero though.

Or try the Goodyear F1 Asymmetric, slightly better tread life and still acceptable performance. You can look at this previous thread:

I have the Dunlops on and I am beyond impressed. I don't know about Rocky Mountain winters though.

He had them and then switched. I actually went for the nexen n3000 based on hhughes1's recommendation and still have them on my car. After countless burnouts and about 4k i still say there is like 90% treadlife left. These things last for a long time.

my friend is ordering me a set 265/35/18's of the nexen n3000 and i'm putting on this Sat. It's nice to have a friend who owns a tire shop. i'm at 8k and my rear tires are done.

How are they bad tires because they are done in 2k miles???
They have a low tread wear rating. Which gives better grip of the road.
Get something with a 300treadwear, they will last much longer, but you will lose performance. They wont grip the road as good as a lower tread wear rating tire.
I have Nexen N3000's on now. They are cheap and 340 tread wear. But they spin like im on ice in first and second gear under full throttle.

I had N3000's on the rear and they are now in the garage like new. Got the Dunlops (4) for the track ( 3 events in 4 months) and when they wear out the Nexen's will go back on.
