Ravi, ideally you should change all 4 tyres. If you change only two, you know you compromised and should take care.
The youtube video is very correct in its own point. But hydroplaning is something we face very rarely in city drive condition. The car hydroplaning in the video was going at 45 MPH, which is well over 70 kmph. If you are a cautious driver, you can avoid getting into this trouble.
Putting new tyres in the front will help proper power transfer from the engine to the tyres. It will help improve handling of the car, as front wheels are the steered wheels. Hence the recommendation.
