Think about it in sea-faring terms... The more surface area the hull has, the better it floats. This is due to the high surface tension of water. Thus, more surface area will hold more weight above water. When you add forward motion into the equation, it becomes even easier for the object to stay afloat. Thus, more contact area on your tires makes you more prone to hydroplaning.

Did that make sense?
