This past weekend I made a trip into the mountains of Northern Arizona with the GTI. I have the Dunlop Direzza Star Spec Z1 tires on it which are fabulous for traction here where it rarely rains. But this past week end I ran into some heavy rain hearde North on Interstate 17. The car would hydroplane every now and then when hitting standing water then find traction and be under control again. Pretty interesting. I might have been concerned but I never really felt out of control for more than a couple seconds at a time.
When these wear thin I suppose I should go back to an All Season tire for better performance in water. Just letting you guys know in case you didn't already.
