The speed increment that can make the difference between hydroplaning and not hydroplaning typically ranges from 30 to 35 miles per hour (48 to 56 kilometers per hour) on wet roads. Hydroplaning occurs when a vehicle's tires lose contact with the road surface due to water accumulation, and this risk increases significantly as speed rises. Maintaining lower speeds in wet conditions can help prevent hydroplaning, especially when water depth is greater than the tire tread depth.

What speed increment can make a difference between hydroplaning and not hydroplaning?

Hydroplaning can occur when a car’s speed exceeds the water evacuation capacity of its tires, typically around 35-55 mph depending on tire tread depth and road conditions. Driving at speeds below this threshold and ensuring proper tire maintenance can reduce the risk of hydroplaning.

What is the formula for hydroplaning?

The formula that is used to compute hydroplaning speed is: Minimum total hydroplaning speed (knots) equals 9 times the square root of tire inflation pressure (psi) or: V = 9 ÆP For the B-757 main wheels, the speed would be: 9 Æ144 = 108 knots

What causes hydroplaning in a car?

Hydroplaning is like water skiing. You need standing water on the roadway, not just moisture, and the necessary speed which is determined using tire pressure and math. The hydroplaning speed for tires at 32 psi is approximately 51 mph minimum. If you hit standing water at any speed other than a crawl you most likely will experience handling problems and possible loss of control.

Does cruise control make hydroplaning more dangerous or increase the chance of hydroplaning?

When it is raining, the chances of hydroplaning are higher. You see, the cruise control makes every attempt to maintain a set speed. When hydroplaning occurs, the tires lose traction, and as such the car starts to slow down, then the cruise control kicks in suddenly trying to accelerate the car back to the set speed. The cruise control does not know the road conditions or if it is raining, snowing or you are floating on a lake ... it only knows the speed set point and will always do everything it can to achieve that set speed, no matter what. Best advice when it's raining - turn the cruise control off.
