not a very good idea. your suppose to have your best tires in the rear. KDWs>stock and before you say "it's fwd" Tips on Installing New Tires a lot of tire places have this policy and it's put there for a reason. KDWs are "y-rated"-300km+ HXMXM4 are "h-rated"-240km. big difference. and you have a bigger tire in the front??? why? as for the op. your accelerating too fast. hydro planing as stated before is going fast over a patch of water and basically floating over it losing contact with the road. stock tires suck and always will.
