Question about Proxes 4 in the rain

I have an 04 MCS with Proxes 4 16 inch tires on the car. I am experiencing a lot of slipping in the rain. I wonder if it is tire pressure. Should I follow the tire recommendation or the car manual or does anyone have a suggestion for tire pressures for this car and tire. Is it tire pressure or is it just a bad tire for wet?

oh and since they are directional tires make sure they are on the right way that could mess up handling bad!
