[QUOTE="Jules, post: 179721, member: 88"] I have to agree with Schwepps.... To put more words to my tots : 1) Weight matters in RESISTING hydroplaning ( ie. a heavier vehicle hydroplane less since N is large ) 2) Once you hydroplane, N is no longer useful......since U is already zero ( ie. one of you are somewhat rite then ) 3) Tyres are most important in RESISTING hydroplane especially the WIDTH and thread depth and design. ( hence u see KaNCIL can zoom faster cos their narrow tyres need to disperse LESS water to not float - and see the WRC car tyres in snow condition, all skinny tyres plus spike too for some stages ) 4) Wider tyres will always be worse in wet.....in hydroplane resistance! 5) ABS does nothing to resist the above in first place..... 6) So message is clear - go slow in wet....... Hope I made sense...... [/QUOTE]
