Indeed aquaplaning is more likely to be a problem to me, in Somerset, than ice, snow, or even Australian mud roads. Therefore I maintain that keeping a good tread depth on ALL 4 tyres is very important. An interesting fact is that the Aquaplaning Speed is directly proportional to the square root of the Tyre Pressure. I think that for me at 35psi that means about 59mph. (all other things being perfect?) https://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/viewconten...roadschool PS Once you have let a spin take place, what the leading tyres, front or back?

True, a tyre can only do two of the three things we expect from it,
