The new pattern has to be better with the extra channels. I still would'nt go past 50mph anyway. Also at speed, large patches of standing water or monsoon like conditions are obviously a no no. You'll hydroplane right off the road and end up in a ditch/wall.
You just need to drive easy, be more aware of conditions, and take into account your on a reduced tread depth tire.

I've driven on the old tread design in the rain. Stayed in the right lane and did 50mph tops. 40-45mph if it started to come down harder.
