I would imagine this would depend on the depth and pattern of the tyre tread a new tyre with a deep tread would be able to go faster before aquaplaning than an old and worn tyre tread which cannot sqeeze the water away as efficiently as a new tyre.
As low as 20 mph

Water may separate tires from the road and cause hydroplaning?
Type your answer here... Yes
Water on the road can cause a vehicle to hydroplane?
Yes, combined with worn tires and vehicle speed.
When there is too much water on the road your tires can lose all contact with the road at what speed?
Hydroplaning can happen as low as 20 mph.
When there is too much water on the road...your tires can lose all contact with the road at what speed?
50 mph It can happen as low as 20 mph
When you travel at a high speed an water gets in between your tires and the road surface resaulting lost of traction is called?
"Hydroplaning".
Partial hydroplaning of the vehicle starts at around what speed?
It would depend on the weight of the vehicle, the vehicle's tires and the amount of water on the road.
What is the width of bicycle tires?
Bicycle tires start at a little over 3/4 inch for high speed racing tires, going up through 1.5 inch for light road going tires to 2.25 inch for knobbly off-road tires.
If water on the road surface is as low as 1 12 of an inch at what speed can your tires lose total traction?
At 65 mph, your tires can lose total contact with the road. Of course, your car can begin to hydroplane at slower speeds if your tire tread and pressure are not at the proper levels
If water on the road surface is as low as 2 inches at what speed can your tires lose total traction contact?
For airplanes a hydroplaning speed can be calculated (roughly 8.6 times the square root of the tire pressure) but it is not as simple for cars. If you have bald tires, the speed will be lower, if you have good wet traction tires with "aqua channels" it will be higher. In all cases, if you know you are going to drive over 2" of standing water, slow down.
What could cause extreme drifting over 40 mph in rain on a 1995 Mitsubishi Gallant ls It has new tires front end and rear have been checked and aligned?
Hydroplaning is a condition that causes severe drifting. It's caused at about that speed when the tires are lifted off the surface of the road because of the standing water and the speed of the vehicle. You only need to be going about 18 MPH to water-ski, which is basically hydroplaning. Good tires can help the vehicle hold the road at higher speeds, but eventually the water gets between the tires and the road and you no longer have traction. The best way to avoid the prolem is to only use tires that are exactly the same size as original equipment and use tires that allow water to get out of the grooves easily. Oversized tires will make your car hydroplane much easier.
What affects car speed?
Fiction: between the tires and the road. the car with the air in the drivetrain
What occurs when there is a buildup of water between your tires and the road?
The term is hydroplaning.
