Since my install I've put on 4-5K. The last week we've had "interesting" rain patterns on the Jersey shore. Not as a purely scientific test, but these tires avoid hydroplaning just shy of 80mph. If there's standing puddles, I recommend you slow to 72. Either way, you'll plow right through. (True even with the +1 sizing I put on stock 18" rims.)
Of course, the larger limit is set by minivans and Camrys hugging the left lane at 55.  |
That's good to know considering I totaled my Acura TL because I hydroplaned at 60mph on the freeway  ...and yeah, I'm not really complaining because of the tread ware.
