Many tires are designed to plow water to the outside edges. I have had tires where the pattern is like a "V." You can mount them on either side of the car but they have they are only effective if the are mounted on the rims so the V pushes water aside. If your tires get rotated side-to-side, they will move water to the center and cause hydroplaning, unless re-mounted on the rims.
A diagonal pattern may not be as dangerous but you have more water hitting the underside of your vehicle.
And that's all I think I know about that.
