Tires are much better nowadays, definitely.
When I got Michelins on the old Civic much of the aquaplaning was gone (not all) and it did corner faster.
But the Civic was a very light car with relatively large wheels.
The Insight is over 50% heavier but its tires are just 2" taller and 2 cm wider, that is about 20% more thread on the road.
Tire pressure is higher too (even OEM)
