360' spin, I was very lucky.

Hey Peter78,

Thanks for posting this information up. I have a little one and one on the way so this information really helps. I'm leaning towards getting winter tires just to play on the safe side as well. Thanks again.
 
I don’t think that from the practical side it matters. Maybe if you are superstitious, then another thing. Here, for example, at the link MrBet casinos types of online gambling, the dice are generally virtual and this does not hinder making real money there. My friends regularly earn money on entertainment there.
 
After reading this post this has zero to do with a 4 runner. I was in my bros brand new Acura NSX super car and it hydro and hit the wall going down the fwy in LA at 55 mph. The amount of water speed and tires caused this to happen not his car. Cars and trucks are not immune to the effect of hydro unless you do 1 thing, slow down.i have felt many different cars of mine lose contact with the road in the rain and I always lift off the gas and slow down after that. Speed kills in the rain no matter what you drive.
 
my guess is your transmission downshifted right after you turned off your CC and caused the tires to start the hydroplane.

There are all sorts of factors but this is most correct. Driving speed and tire pressure are the largest factors. Other factors like acceleration (especially RWD vehicles) and tire condition and tread pattern come into play but the largest are speed and pressure.
 
Driving too fast at night in the rain with worn but legal tread on my tires on a freeway in CO, 18 wheeler passing me on my left as I’m passing another on my right. A slight right hand downhill curve in the road, a little more water on the road, my front wheels do not turn right, I’m heading into the semi on the left. Only easing up on my speed did I regain control and avoid a crash. An oh-shit moment that taught me a lesson to slow down when the road is slick from rain or snow.

That oh shit moment could really wake up the senses.
