I went out to the paddock and tried some maneuvers in the wet. First a sharp 90* left turn at 30 MPH. Then a 35 MPH a little wider but no loss of control. Then a 40 MPH and I induced a spin. I filmed this too so I will post and ask for a critique later.
Pilot Super Sports are alright in my book. I recommend them to all.

The rear end stepping out is fine. You should have progressively braked later and later hopefully to find how truly late you can brake...but you do it in tiny increments until you are just braking TOO late.
How did the front end slide out? Were you mid-corner, entering the corner, exiting?
Btw, a temporary loss of control shouldnt necessarily be interpretted as bad...pushing yourself is the point of learning. Many people actually feel GOOD when they finally spin out, or go off track. They know they pushed themselves to the limit, and (hopefully) they remember where it is from that point on. Keeping yourself in a constant state of control without ever hitting any of those points likely means you have much room to go faster
