For all you fat tired fella's....

Just wondering if you guys running 245+ tires are experiencing higher levels of hydroplaning and how bad the car follows the ruts made by semi's with wider tire set ups.

lmao I thought the same thing...

Wider tires will definitely be more prone to tramlining and hydroplaning, but hydroplaning would be heavily dependent on the tire's tread pattern. I'm also curious about just how much more noticable the effects are on the 86.
