You should check your tires to see if they're too old. Always stay within the speed limit. The most important of all is to check your tire pressure. For most vehicles the pressure should be about 30 to 32 psi. If it rains often where you are, lower the tire pressure to about 26 in the front and 28 in the rear. Make sure the tire pressure are the same between the left and the right also. Uneven tire pressure between the left and right would cause pulling of the vehicle to one side or the other. Lower tire pressure means more of the tire on the surface of the road, thus better traction. But, it is still a combination of tire pressure, speed and health of the tire. You should have your suspension checked also, because faulty shock absorbers or struts would result in the same problem.

At the first sight of precipitation, the oil on the road lifts making it especially slippery. As the rain washes the road, conditions improve.
I put Walmart specials on my Nissan mini truck and dont have much problem, even with there being so little weight on the rear wheels.

I changed to GoodYear TripleTred tires on my Honda. They aren't the cheapest but it's one of the top-rated all-weather tires and has an 80,000 mile warranty.
I can also vouch for the tire's performance even at moderately high speeds in heavy rains; outstanding!
One caveat: the tire has a directional tread and many tire installers don't realize this and install the tires incorrectly. My research tells me this is not a real problem, for safety or performance, if they are installed incorrectly, but there's a directional arrow on the tire so it's easy to see if you know to look for it. Just point it out to your tire installer.

What you like is a coil. one among them has a small crack and it is not permitting the cylinder to fireplace good. The small crack is getting moist, and that's exactly why it is merely behaving this way whilst it is raining. it is an low fee restoration. which would be coated under the emissions administration guarantee, so i might advise you're taking it to a Ford broking.

try putting a couple of bags of sand in the trunk of the car. It is an old trick that we used to use in the snow and ice to make the back end a little more stable and help prevent hydroplaning.

The easiest way to stop the conditions you describe is to slow down and drive more carefully. Works for me and my small, light Civic.

i would by an all weather tire if it were me. but as long as you got good tread on the tires, its all the same, good tread depth allows for water to be displaced.

It could be your tires if they are worn , or maybe you are driving to fast for the road conditions.
