My car has hydroplaned twice in the past six months. The first time, I was coming around a curve in light rain and the back tires slipped. I felt as if they completely lost traction. I was able to correct and keep from causing an accident. I visually inspected my tires and they still looked brand new. This occurred at about 22,000 miles. My speed was about 15 miles an hour.I then had a second incident at about 26,000 miles. This was experienced in heavy rain on the highway at about 60 miles per hour. My car again lost traction and went completely into the lane next to me. It was as if it lifted and went left, both back and front tires. I avoided collision because there was no car next to me. I have had tires rotated every 5000 miles and all maintenance as required to vehicle. When taken to flow Mazda I informed them of the problem. They said there was more wear on front than back tires which makes no sense due to required rotation being done. They were not helpful or concerned. I don't know if this is a car issue or tire issue. I cannot drive a vehicle that is hydroplaning.

The incident happened this last Sunday (1/10/16) at around 1:30pm. I was returning with my family from a school soccer game. I was driving on the I-95 at around 50mph in the express lanes. Suddenly we heard a loud noise, we were not sure if it was coming from the car, the radio, a nearby truck or even an app from my kids' tablet. At the same time my car started losing traction and vibrates, but luckily I was able to control it and decelerate carefully. I was able to stop in one the sides of the highway, and then I exited the car and took a look of what happened. And then it was when I discovered the scary situation. The passenger rear tire (yokohama geolandar G91) was completely destroyed as shown in the photo that I sent you. That happened without cause. There was not any debris or anything in the highway and the road was clear. The weather was nice too, it had been raining a few minutes before, but it was clear at the time of the accident. After I saw the tire, I realized of the lucky that we were
