i was 17 years old driving my dads sweet 87 v-6 firebird. and it was gonna sleet/rain that night, so my mom told me to take her saturn to work because “it goes better in the bad weather” on my way home from work a guy cut across my lane and i did a lane change to stay away from him. in the process i hydroplaned and hit on coming traffic. 45 mph southbound into 45mph northbound… all because my moms rear tires were 0/32 and i didnt know it because i never drove her car. now i scares me to death to ride on bald tires… expectially in the rain. ---

try ET streets in the rain 🙂 bias ply and no tread = omg 15mph and for those that do run DOT legal slicks and such on the street, keep an eye on the tire pressure. My buddy totaled his car when a tire popped off the rim from too low pressure…damn shame that car was nassssty! ---
