Ding ding ding. Give the man a prize. Dog you are exactly right. Some tires are better than others. If that water is deep enough you will hydroplane. Unless you can fly.

That's "Priceless"
I was thanking God for the Michelin Alpin some of you guys recommended when I drove over a mountain on highway 170 in Tennessee during a strong downpour a few weeks ago. Couldn't stop but I didn't slip once. Real confident with this CT & the stopping grip is really good.
That Michelin is good stuff isn't it. I say that it inspire confidence. I have another tire I would like to sing its praises. I have ridden in two hard rains lately. My Metzeler 888 grips the road better than any front tire I have ever used save for my 880 on my 109. Its a solid performer.
Nothing wrong with Metzler ...best rain tire(front) I have ever owned...just don't last very long!

I've just got one more thing to add to the subject. You guys watch Moto GP?. I never miss it. Several times a year they ride in the rain. Riders are losing the front in the corners like crazy. They are hydroplaning. On the best rain tires known to man. These guys don't use second best. We can't even buy what they use. The very definition of hydroplaning is when the surface of your tire is no longer touching the surface of the road. Instead your tire is running on a film of water. And down you go. I don't care if you are running on a 280 , a 180 , or a CT.
