Default Dangerous Driving

Lately I am having a problem with hydroplaning while driving on wet surfaces. I never had this problem before but it has now become dangerous as I veer back and forth in my lane.

Fortunately I haven't crossed into someone else's lane but I fear it could happen. I phoned the dealer and told them of this situation, how it seems to zig zag while driving in rainy conditions. He said it is "normal" due to the rubber being of a softer quality than regular tires and these tires were not meant to be driving in rainy conditions. I drive this car daily to work round trip about 80 miles in all sorts of weather and I expect it to behave as any car would...hug the road. These are the factory tires it came with and I have 10,000 miles on the car.

Initially I thought it was because I was hitting a large section of water where all 4 wheels were in water simultaneously but that doesn't really seem to matter. Driving in rainy conditions today, I was following another vehicle's tracks and there were no sheets of water but my car was again zig zagging all over the lane so much so that vehicles behind me saw this happening and reduced their speed so as to stay a safe distance from me.

Has anyone experienced this problem or can you please offer some suggestions as to what to look for to resolve this issue? Please respond.
