  1. Just want to say thanks to everyone who responded. This is my first time on this site and the replies were very helpful. I don't know the exact tires that are on the car, but I am going to the service department after work to get my chip protector put on so I am definitely going to ask about my hydroplaning experience. I was going between 55 - 65 while this was happening on the freeway. To 1990LS400, you probably hit the nail on the head in terms of the "ignorance is bliss." Because it was so apparent it probably freaked me out more. I will investiage the type of tire and re-post to get people's thoughts.
  2. I just bought a CPO '07 IS 250 AWD and driving home last night in heavy rain, I experienced severe hydroplaning on the freeway. So much to the extent that I was nervous driving home and almost pulled over. Previously I owned an SC400, which occassionally hydroplaned while driving (as with any low sports car). However, last night I had never experienced hydroplaying in a car like this before. At one point, an alarm was triggered when I was hydroplaning and shut off when I brought the car back under control. The dealer indicated new tires were on the car so I would be very surprised if the tires were a factor. Overall, I am a good driver in the rain, having been raised in the Seattle area my whole life, so I am nervous about this experience I had last night and was hoping that someone has advice on best next steps e.g. possible stability alignment issue? Any information is greatly appreciated!
