minus-squareace_garp@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 months agoBreaking traction when driving through a puddle. I assumed they are super heavy and would stick to the ground, nope. The tyres are essentially treadless drift-tyres, and any water on a polished concrete surface will allow some sliding. This was without load and no crash ensued, just a momentary boost in adrenaline as 1.5 tons is moving a different direction as expected. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_z-QjthkWg
