Dave;
I sure can comment on driving with slicks in the rain-- scary! I
neglected to change the M & H Racemasters on my GTO after running at the
drags in Waynesboro, VA one day and on the way home it rained. Talk
about white- knuckle driving! I never did that again.
Regards, Neil Tucson, AZ

that seems to not take the tread design into account or the load on the
tire.. makes no sense to me but what do i know?? Think slick vs. snow
tire
at the same size and inflation pressure???? 1500 lb car vs. F350 truck??

..... Read an excellent technical paper a few years back (can't remember
the

start
> hydroplaning at a MPH = 9.8 times square root of the inflation
pressure.
