My family and I were coming up from florida when it started to rain. I felt the car slipping on the road so I moved over into the far right hand land. The car slipped again and I hydroplaned and crashed car on Nov. 29th due to tires that were only 6months old. I felt these new tires had been worn smooth after only 10,000 miles of usage with a car that had no brake or alignment issues. The tires were full of air at the right pressure and I noticed no tread issues before leaving out of town. When filling out the police report, the officer wrote me a ticket claiming the accident happened because of the tires. We had to stay overnight in a hotel and purchased new tires the next day. I still retain the tires.
