Finally, the tire that comes standard on SS non-1LE models does not fall under the Supercar name. They are Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 RunOnFlat (ROF aka runflat). You should start a new thread with the correct tire name if they're the ones you meant to ask about. I have driven on these tires in 3 different Camaro SS rental cars and they're fine in the rain even a heavy downpour (they had plenty of tread) and they grip well when cornering on backroads. I can't speak to their cold weather performance.
Any tire will hydroplane if you don't have much tread left. I've hydroplaned in a front wheel drive econobox on nearly bald all season tires on the highway in the rain. I am willing to bet those who commented about the tires being terrible in the rain (excluding Supercar 3R) had low tread. At 2/32" when the wear bars are even with the rest of the tread you have reached the minimum legal tread depth in 42 states. Tires become much more dangerous in the rain with low tread due to hydroplaning and increased stopping distance.
