Just experienced it for the first time in a roundabout. It's good to know about such things, it could easily get out of control! I was driving somewhat slowly and I still struggled to keep control of the car
I felt it for the first time on the highway. It was raining. My car is pretty new but still I felt this aquaplaning that I was not feeling that control over my car
The same old incorrect advice from a company that's more interested in selling tyres. The most important factor in aquaplaning is speed - even a brand new tyre can suffer from aquaplaning if the speed is too high. Try driving the car with low tread depth more slowly and see what happens.
I'm here because I ended up aquaplaning a couple of times today on the motorway because of really bad road conditions. 🌊 🚙 🌊 I had to stay super alert the whole time because of all the deep puddles along the fast/passing lane when passing slower semitrailers 😅
Happened to me last week. It was scary. Went through a puddle on a motorway and hit a puddle (deeper than i thought). It was fairly deep and the steering just went. It was an awful feeling. Definitely take it slower when its raining heavily/a lot of water on the road
Hmm interesting, So you telling me that there’s a chance for me to cross a river on my motocross if i use a slick drag tyres? Oh and also, Is that Crofty? Sounds similar
When tyre lifts off onto the water , fuel efficiency is increase because of the reduced drag increase the lifespan of the cars tyre and car's components from reduced load.
Broooo what is crofty doing here??? Here after Carlos crashed due to aquaplaning in Suzuka 2022. Man Gasly was so close to the tractor. There shud Nvr be a tractor on the track 🥶🥶
But if you didn't try to steer so aggressively vs how gently you steered with the new tires... this isn't really a test anymore. Its more of a, what happens if you steer harshly vs gently on a slippery road.
Looked like the car on the left had a lot less water on the road too. I'm not convinced, i think you just wish to sell more tyres. Especially when you quoted "current legal limit" are you trying to push legislation to change the legal limit, to therefore sell more tyres. All in the name of safety.
This is not a good video because they make it seem like the whole road needs to be flooded to experience aqua planing when aqua planing can in fact happen even with very little water on the road.
You had adequately demonstrated that a shallow tread depth is better because it keeps you going straight, and doesn't let you swerve. The opposite of your intended point.
Nope. Notice how the driver was purposely swerving the car. With the first set of tires, the car actually responded to his commands and was much more manouverable. Withe the second set of tires, the car barely moved, despite the driver trying his hardest to swerve. If you were on the road during rainy conditions and needed to steer your car out of the way in the last possible moment, that'd be near impossible with the second set, thus causing a potential accident.
