I was driving on a wet road in a 2002 chevy Silverado when the vehicle started to hydroplane out of control off the road. I was driving about 55 mph at the time. Have there been any studies on the perofrmace of vehicles under slick road conditions? are trucks more likely to hydroplane than other types of automobile? since this incident I am concerned about the safety of driving my vehicle in poor weather conditions.
At first 1200 miles original tires had flat spots all around and chopping up.
The tires had been aligned and rotated several times due to excessive wear on the inside and outside.
While traveling approx. 60 mph. On highway driver side rear tire suffered major blowout. It is totally split out around outer edge halfway around tire. I have contacted the dealer where truck was purchased and they say it is not a recall tire, and also contacted gm and was told same. I am not sure what to do next except just purchase a whole new set of tires at my own expense. Thank you. (dot number: vn73 wmb tiresize: p265/75r16).
