The Oakville Beaver, W ednesday O c to b e r 23, 2002 - D5 I! n T » v II E G L S ii i k i i iii ; \ / iltonSe your tires in contact with a wet road depends on their ability to move water through the grooves in the tread fast enough to accommodate the amount of water being driven through (passing through the tread). When there's more water than the tread can handle, the hydraulic pressure of the water overcomes the weight of the vehicle -- because the water has nowhere to go -- and lifts it off the road. In effect, you are no longer driving through the water, you're driving over it. The effect is much the same as putting your car on water skis. The result is a reduction -- or elimination -- of steering and braking control and `pulling' in front-wheel drive vehicles. Different tires shed i water at different rates, which becomes more critical a ls p e e d increases and puddles becomemrger anp deeper.

Ability of the tire grooves to shed water exceeds volume of water (depth in the path of the tire compounded by vehicle speed). The volume of water a particular tire can shed depends on the number, depth and design of the grooves. Different tires will aquaplane at different speeds. COMMUNICATIONS COPYRIGHT WHEELBASE Once the volume of water becomes too great for the tread to shed, the hydraulic pressure lifts the tire off the road. Tires with high tread wear, or tires not designed for wet conditions, will aquaplane at lower speeds with less water.
