Hydroplaining problem.
I just got My Civic last July. It keeps raining here in Md and I keep hydroplaining for some reason. When I'm at a stop sign or a stop light, I will accelerate and it will loose touch with the ground. Am I taking off to fast, or are the stock tires messed up? Has anyone had this issue or have this issue?

I would say better tires. Get some really good tires, the ones I have right now only hydroplane when I'm going very very fast. I've got BF Goodrich KDW 225/45/17 in the front and stockies in the rear.

And to the OP, I'm not attempting to be mean, but understand this is a life-and-death issue. LEARN TO DRIVE! If you don't even know what hydroplaning is, how to spell it, or understand the great mystery of your spinning tires there probably isn't much you do know about driving. Get some instruction under controlled circumstances from experts before you kill yourself and/or others. This is not a role an internet forum can fulfill. And yes, the stock tires suck. But even that's a small issue compared to the driver. I say this for your own good, even though it's highly unlikely that you'll seriously consider my warning, much less heed it. |

on a somewhat related note. i floored it from a stop in a puddle and my tires spun so much i hit 6K before i even started moving,it was like it was in neutral. no resistance at all.

so stop flooring it or upgrade your tires. again not hydro planing. this topic is on hydro planing and not how many times i can spin my stock tires. a puddle wont stop your traction if your at a stand still. ice would but not a puddle. now if there was a man hole cover or leaves or something of a slippery service under your car when you "floored it" then thats what might have caused your wheel spin. other then that your tires are bald and you need new ones.
