Last week I went to PJ using Lebuhraya Mahameru from KL. The road was wet with drizzling rain.
In front of me, there was a Vios (probably the latest version) cruising at about 100km/h at the
fast lane and I was following right behind but kept a safe distance of about 4-5 cars space.
When passing under the parliament bridge where the big curve to right, all a sudden the
Vios rear starts skidding to left and start spinning 360 degree!   It was like the stunt
you saw in the movie. I sense the danger and immediately engage the brake to avoid direct hit
to the Vios. When I pressed the brake, I heard a sound “kluk” from the rear and felt the car like
being pressed down. I felt the slippery for a fraction of a second but later was the traction of tire
that I knew I am still going straight. The Vios spin for at least 3 rounds before it stopped in the
middle of the road and luckily it did not hit the side crash barrier and no car from the left.
I didn’t manage to stop by but I saw 2 passengers at the front seat with terrifying face.
It was the first time I saw a car spinning in front of me and later I remembered my colleague
had the same experience with his Vios (older version) at Kerinchi Link where it also happened
when the road is wet. My colleague told me his car tires were having plenty of thread.
Before this I was still thinking to downgrade the 17” rim to 15” for more comfortable ride but
now I think wider tires have better grip.
The lesson that I learn is slowdown when the road is wet and try to keep a safe distance from vehicle in front.
I guess our car ESP really works. 

alamak bro, maybe i also should reconsider about downgrading to 15"..

my previous wira also face same situation like that vios but i manage to control & prevent the car from making 'donut' in the middle of highway....lucky my gaming skill save my life 
in my case, my car start to skid becoz a stupid waja suddenly overtake & brake in front of my car resulting i've to steer the stereng to prevent from crashing his car...suddenly steer the stereng during the raining day cauze my car start to skid but from my experience (gaming  ) i manage to control the car with only a little bit of damage becoz the side have to kiss the divider....

tire width wider suppose 2 help get better grip. More so while raining. At least thats what i tought all this while. Sidenote : saw ad on alor star streets Llumar hv rm399 on 4windows. Not sure exactly where the shop located.

Prevention by the driver
The best strategy is to avoid contributors to hydroplaning. Proper tire pressure, narrow and unworn tires, and reduced speeds from those judged suitably moderate in the dry will mitigate the risk of hydroplaning, as will avoidance of standing water.
Electronic stability control systems cannot replace defensive driving techniques and proper tire selection. These systems rely on selective wheel braking, which depends in turn on road contact. While stability control may help recovery from a skid when a vehicle slows enough to regain traction, it cannot prevent hydroplaning.
Because pooled water and changes in road conditions can require a smooth and timely reduction in speed, cruise control should not be used on wet or icy roads.

experienced few times. car skid for momentarily but not to the extend until lost control.
