During periods of heavy rain, water may build up on the roads faster than it can drain. When you drive through this water, too much of it can build up in front of your tires. This is what causes hydroplaning.
When your car hydroplanes, you could lose the ability to slow down, stop, steer or maintain control of your vehicle. You can lessen your risk of hydroplaning by slowing down during times of heavy rain. You can also check your tire tread regularly, and have your tires replaced when the tread is worn or bald.
Stop in to Spradley Hyundai to get your tires and brakes checked. If you have had a recent hydroplaning episode, our Hyundai service technicians can also check out your vehicle for damage. We offer preventive maintenance such as tire rotations and brake inspections, too.
