Yeah I'm totally flabbergasted that such wide tires slip so much, and that narrow tires are better in rain. Who'da thunk it?
I mean the physics of the situation make sense but on the face of it I'd never dream wider tires are worse in the rain.
Can any tire expert define whether different sizes on front/rear contribute to this instability?

OP: Glad your wife is OK. Get her to the emergency room and get some x-rays and a general overall checkup, because some injuries are hidden in an auto accident.
