what kind of tires, tires that have not openings in the tread on the side to allow water to escape will cause more hydroplaning, i always look for tires with open tread patterns to help with this and i've almost never hydroplaned

when the tires spin give it more gas...makes the water move quicker

Only 3 cures for hydroplaning ... better tires, less speed or 4wd. Thursday night, I was blowing through puddles half a lane wide at 50+ ... she didn't even TRY to pull to the right. That's why I always put it in 4hi when it's wet out.
