what kind of tires are they? If they are good performance tires they don't like wet serfaces at all. Or, you still could have been going too fast for the conditions.

if the tires are new and you're driving normally... could be a suspension issue.

Well, when was the last time it rained there?
Here is Texas, there is a long period in between rains. The roads get caked on grease and oil. When it finally rains, the water brings all that out of the concreat and the roads become very slipery. It has to rain hard and long for it to all wash away.

So if it has been dry and then it rains, then the roads were just very slippery.

That is my shot in the dark. :)
