Hydroplaning is a function of the vehicle's speed, weight, area of the tire's contact patch, and the tread block design/depth. The tires will lift up off the road surface once they are no longer able to evacuate water filling tread blocks in the contact patch. Coating on the tire may affect how the tires grip/handle once they drop back down to the road surface, but not their propensity to hydroplane in the first place.
