Rear Tire Issues!

Can you explain a little more of how you hydroplaned doing 10 mph? I'm just curious on the mechanics of a 10 mph hydroplane.

I was called into work after a huge downpoor (I work as a firefighter). There was a good 1.5 ft. of water on the ground, I wasn't going fast, I dont know how fast I was going, however, I was going down a steep hill and had to make a hard left. I downshifted, slowed, was midway through the turn, gave a little bit of gas, and the *** end swung out. I am not saying it was any fault of the car, as it clearly wasn't, it was my fault, I was just curious as to what the issue may be. Thanks all!

Oh, you hydroplaned the whole car. 1.5ft of water will turn the car into a boat!

Tell me about this hydroplane experience you had at 10 mph also?You will need all the practice you can get explaining when you go to the dealer?So why not practice here with the guys!
I've seen a magician pull a rabbit from his hat but I doubt if you are David Copperfield!Richard Pryor ...maybe!Could also be a Cheech and Chong experience to!Thats a thought!C'mon come clean with the guys about this!
In any event make sure you bring the checkbook with you tommorow.
