WET DRIVING TIPS
Make sure your tires offer the proper amount of tread.
Own tires that offer maximum grip in wet weather, like the BFGoodrich g-Force COMP-2 A/S PLUS.
Drive with two hands. Always.
Slow down before turning, and maintain a consistent speed throughout the turn.
While turning, don’t make any sudden steering wheel movements.
Only brake in a straight line before the turn, and do so gradually. Do not brake during the turn.
Increase your following distance from other cars significantly.
If hydroplaning, do not accelerate or brake suddenly. Keep your foot lightly on the gas and steer the car forwards until your tires regain traction.
