deflating the tires dont work?

 

No because it causes a high floatation situation which means more water tracks under the tire causng it to plane easier. technically a narrower tread pattern is optimal but not too narrow.

 

i see...so the only way, is to put more weight where needed?

 

Well his question really makes no sense to me because his drive wheels are in the front and the engine is right on top of them so unless he adds more weight to the front he really isn't going to get more traction. I drive in the rain almost year round here in Oregon and I have yet to see a need for more weight over either front or rear end of my car...simply put drive carefully and within your comfort level. Trying to go faster or hang corners in the rain is just plain stupid.

 

man.....how much does it rain up there? ive never heard of adding weight to the wheels to get more traction due to water. get yourself some better tires, and slow down a bit...:thinking:


or is this a parody i completly missed? h:

 

lol, use chains.

 

you talk like a leprachaun (sp?)

 

You're panicking because it's supposed to rain? Try driving in a blizzard with a half of a foot of snow already on the ground :slap:

 

Unless your tires are in really shitty condition or you perform some kind of half-assed maneuver that induces snap oversteer, there's no problem. It's just some rain.

 

Oh you people :doh:
