[QUOTE="wglee, post: 126751, member: 610"] My car's front tyres (Continental CSC1, size 225/50ZR16, all 4 tyres being 4 years old and have travelled 75,000km) aquaplanned at 110km/h during a heavy downpour on the North South Highway which almost resulted in an accident. I don't know whether this was caused by the age of the tyres, or insufficient tread depth (the tyres, especially the front ones, still have quite a bit of tread left before hitting the TWI), or simply because wide tyres do aquaplan easily compared to skinny tyres, or all of the above factors or any combination of the above factors. Whatever it was, I was convinced enough to change my tyres immediately the next day. I'm using Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 now. [/QUOTE]
