Your tires will have a tread wear rating on the sidewall, 400 is on the hard side and 200 would be softer(more grip). If your tires don't have wide enough rain grooves(the ones that run long ways) your more likely to hydroplane(surf on top of water) you probably have a combonation of hard tires and small grooves.More weight over the drive tires would help( load up trunk or truck bed) otherwise just be more carefull and look at these features when you replace them.

Almost any tire will spin in the rain, especially if they are performance tires designed for maximum traction on dry surfaces. There is no such thing as an 'all purpose' tire. Different rubber compounds and tread designs will accomplish different tasks. Tires designed for high performance driving sacrifice traction in adverse weather conditions, just like a tire that has better traction in the rain won't have the same adhesion as a high performance tire on a hot, dry surface.

Some are not really made to last very well. Some aren't made to handle water well.
Instead of your tires, per se, I would look at possibly changing your suspension.
If your car is front-wheel-drive, it may be the rear wheels are gripping.
Or the tires aren't balanced right.
Just some thoughts off the top of my head.

90 % of tires will spin in the wet. just depends on how hard u hit the pedal.

its called hydro plaining you were probably driving to fast the faster you drive the more lift your car gets the water on the road gets between your tire and the road now you are floating on a cushion of water at slower speeds your car has no lift and your tires can grip the road DRIVE SLOWER

If you a pressing too hard on the accelerator, you could spin the tires regardless of treadwear.

You may have put the incorrect size tire on your car. if they are too narrow your tires can spin. they can also spin when they go over painted surfaces.

Probably the kind you have bought? High mileage tires have a bit harder compund to make them last longer.

Either your tyres are worn, or you are using too much gas or letting the clutch out too quickly when setting off.

How many miles have you done in the past year?It sounds as if they need replacing or you're accelerating too fast.
