ML 500, John Deere tractor
My ML 500 came with Bridgestone Turanzas. Worst tires I've ever gotten on a new vehicle. They'd hydro plane in a heavy dew. 
Plus they only lasted 25K. Replaced them with Continetals, much better.

I also have the same PE setup and it blows
13,990 miles tires are cupped and very loud, and hydroplanes
Beauty is only 2 tires I know of fit the PE setup so I guess I'll breakout the checkbook and buy rims and tires
That'll look fancy on the road

I have Continentals and no problem. I have had them before on other ML's and like them. Remember that the optimum speed for hydroplanning is 10X the square root of the tire pressure. That could be your problem, check the pressure.
