Answer:
== Answer == There are too many variables that affect automobile hydroplaning speed such as weight, tire pressure, tire tread design, tire wear, road surface, road condition (i.e., depth of contaminating snow, slush water, etc.) and so forth to be able to develop a valid, useful formula. However, with respect to airplanes where runway surface conditions, tire tread, tire pressure, and other factors are maintained to a more consistent standard, the generally accepted rule of thumb is 9 times the square root of the tire pressure. For example, if the nosewheel tire pressure is 90 lbs., the square root would be 9.5, which, if you multiply by 9, would give you an expected nosewheel hydroplaning speed of 85.5 nmph. Obviously, automobile hydroplaning speeds would be much lower than that. According to testing cited by the NTSB, the speed at which hydroplaning can be expected to occur in a vehicle is 10.35 x square root of the tire pressure.
Answer :It is about 30-45 mph. When I drive in rain I'm always super careful.
That's incorrect, hydroplaning can occur at any speed when your tires do not have direct contact with the road surface.
