Preventing Aquaplaning

During the rainy season it’s vital to check the tire treads to see if their capable of running through shallow pools of water form on uneven sections of road or highway. It can be done by inserting a coin through the cracks or ‘grooves’ on a tire. If the coin doesn’t go deep enough then that tire is suggested to be changed to ensure safety on the road. The grooves on a tire function in pushing away the oncoming water allowing the car to maintain grip even in wet and rainy conditions.
