I hope this doesn't come off in the wrong way, but it might actually be a good thing that you experienced some hydroplaning. I'm a huge advocate of finding the limits of your vehicle (and the state of your tires), and though being in the middle of the road with others around you is VERY VERY FAR from the ideal place and time, at least you were able to keep your head and bring the speed down until you were at a more comfortable and safe speed. It's okay that it freaked you out, but at least now you know what it feels like, and will be able to recognize the problem if it happens to you again.

I also agree with everything everyone else has said in regards to what you should do. New tires, mounting, balancing, etc.
