Is anyone running these on a speedster or a regular car.

It seems to me to be the best answer to prevent hydroplaning on cars like ours that are so light. This is always my biggest concern as I'm not that much of performance driver anyway, but any hydroplaning scares the heck out of me, for some reason my new car hasn't ever hydroplaned, but I think it certainly could easily enough in theory.

LOL - hydroplaning in a Speedster! Ya gotta drive it in heavy rain at high speeds for that to happen. Is that actually going to happen?

FYI,

The higher the tire pressure, the less likely you're going to hydroplane.
