So, i was going on the highway about 65mph, and the highway starts curving to the right and it was raining. I see few puddles just streaming across the highway, not deep at all, less than 1 inch. And there are like 3 streams just going across the highway about 2 foot wide. As soon as i go over each puddle, i feel the car understeers and goes straight till i get over the puddle. Does this happen to others as well? or is it just my tires dying on me. It's pretty sketchy feeling, since this never happened to me driving other cars.
Welcome to ye ol forum, msaikhan -

Well, what you are experiencing is most likely due to a combination of warn tires and a relatively light car.

The "fix" is to get new tires and then slow down when you see water puddled (streaming) over the road. If it sneaks up on you, don't try to compensate, just ride through it.
