Pooled water is a crap shoot when you traverse it - as witnessed by the number of other folks send either spinning or squirrelly by the pooled water on the trip yesterday

As it is 11 inch wide tryes, no matter what the tread depth or tread pattern will be more likely to hydroplane than skinny sedan tyres..

Not at all and based on some comments received this is an perception that has seemed to be created.

glad to see you, and the vette in one piece :shock:
nothing that extreme has happened to me in the jeep... but once when only 2wd was engaged, and a heavy rain, i hydroplaned something fierce, which i was able to recover @50mph. its pretty crazy as you arent expecting that at all.

Very scary indeed, but you managed to keep your head. I certainly wouldn't be so calm

You were very lucky... judging by the size of the truck in this pic, it could have ended a disaster

Glad you and the car are OK, RC! Scary situation, finding yourself like a sitting duck on the wrong side of the road.....
