No doubt you have rubber and a tread pattern that can outperform most other tires but that's not the whole story. If you have lots of rubber on the road due to wide tires and not so much weight on them, hydroplaning can be a risk still. A heavy vehicle on skinny tires may have higher capacity for squeezing water from under the contact patch. It is similar in snow.

Not suggesting that you get skinny tires because they would perform worse when you drive on clear or damp pavement, which is probably most of the time. Just understand the limitations of wide tires on snow and wet.
