My tires are a 225/65R17. repeatedly, in heavy rain or very wet snow, the tires on mounted on the driver's side hydroplane and lose traction. I am concerned that this problem is due to the design of the tread. This is a directional tire that is only designed for the right side of the vehicle. Tires mounted on the Left side of the vehicle channel water/wet snow toward the center of the tire, causing them to hydroplane under these conditions. All other road conditions: ice, light rain, snow, dry roads, the tires are noisy but do not lose traction

The contact found the rear passengers tire was flat and there was a screw puncturing the tire. After checking the remaining tires, he found that the rear drivers tire pressure was above 50 psi. The dot decal stated that 32 pounds was the recommended psi for rear and front tires. The contact stated the tire pressure was in excess of 50 pounds. The dealer was not notified.
