Hi there
Sorry for your loss, I know people have gone on about tyres but they are pretty spot on.
RE040 are known to perform very poor in wet conditions, these were on your front and could be the reason for abrupt traction loss, but on the other hand RE040 are very stiff and generally pretty good on feedback, so if you'd being going slightly too fast they should have communicated as such, therefor your speed was simply to high for the road conditions even if you were within speed limit.
Miss-matched and again poor performing wet tyres on the back.
Your car had way sub-par wet traction at all 4 corners, I am not saying that if you'd have had F1 ASY2's all round this would not have happened but those tyres have being proven to offer vastly amounts more grip in wet conditions under lateral loads by as much as 10mph, that could be what was needed to keep you firmly attached to the black stuff. Off course it could also just be simply the case irrelevant of tyre the road was simply to slippery and the car going to quick.
Wet roads this time of year can be very greasy and as such dangerous, at least your OK and well remember next time it is wet just drive slower and don't risk anything.
Car can be fixed/replaced, so you'll be back on the road in no time.
