Do you have crappy tires? The quality of tire I mean. All-season tires?

If the tires have been changed, check to see if they are directional tires and are not set the wrong way( you can tell by the way the arrow is pointing) it should point towards the front of the car. The guys that did the tires in my car set them wrong and was doing what you described.

Quality of the rubber compound could be playing a part in this. How old are they? Old tires tend to get hard, and that's not going to be any help in the rain.
