Yeah, good advice. I read that article posted above on hydroplaning and it says not to hit the breaks or turn the wheel. The problem is I was in a turn and believe me I was spinning in a split second. As far as being 20 under the speed limit goes does that apply to heavy rain as I'm assuming that's most likely in good weather. In a downpour I doubt you're going to get a ticket going 45 in a 65. The problem is everyone else around me looks to be going 70 in the downpour so I just stay in the far right lane and hope for the best lol That article talks about the rear of the car feeling squirrely and that's just how mine felt right before spinning. Above 45mph and I get that uneasy feeling with the rear of the car starting to slide around so I'm just going to slow way down when that happens as I know that sick feeling of hydroplaning and spinning around like a top at 65mph lol
Thanks for the tire link too as I'll look into those when replacing my current ones.
