Aquaplaning

Tyres at high speed Lend to skip or float over water
rather than penetrating the water and staying in
contact with the road surface. As a result. all traction
is lost and the car will continue in the direction it has
been traveling prior to the loss of grip, Tyres are
grooved to provide a channel for the water to escape
through · which is why e bald tyre is so treacherous
in wet conditions. Also. wider tyres are more likely to
aquaplane.
