[QUOTE="bimmerholic, post: 598555, member: 16686"] Yes you are right...The broader the contact patch of the tire's surface to the road, the higher the chances for it to hydro-plane. Thus when you're running on 16's you can whack through water puddles without any drama but slap on 18's and the drama may just start. I tend to slow way down when rain with my 18's....unlike when i'm on my 16's previously. [/QUOTE]
