Hydroplaning

When driving on a wet or dirty road, reduce speed, as a water wedge may form between the tires and the road. This effect, known as “hydroplaning”, may result in partial or complete loss of contact with the road surface, leading to loss of vehicle control and making braking impossible.◄

The risk of hydroplaning increases as the tires wear. See also “Minimum Tread Depth” on page 98.
