Rain, aquaplaning and tires

Wet roads make tire condition more important.

Why water changes everything

On wet roads, tires must move water away quickly. If speed is high, tread is low or pressure is wrong, the tire can lose contact with the road more easily. That is why tread, pressure and driving style belong together when talking about rain safety.

Simple habits help

Check pressure regularly, do not wait until tread is at the last limit, and slow down in heavy rain. If your tires are old or unevenly worn, plan a check before the next long trip. Prevention is easier than reacting during aquaplaning.

When to call

Call if you see low tread, cracks, bulges, repeated pressure loss or vibration after driving through standing water. A tire-focused check can help decide whether the tire is still suitable or whether replacement should be planned.
