Can tire pressure affect the chances of hydroplaning?
Tire pressure is one of the leading causes of hydroplaning because it impacts how much contact your tires have with the road. When tires are under-inflated, they are less likely to grip and hold the road, instead allowing for water to come in between. That increases your chances of hydroplaning. To be safe, always check your tire pressure and ensure that your tires are properly inflated and aligned.
