Give yourself some extra time.
Did you know that your tires have the best traction on dry pavement. It doesn't matter what kind of tire you buy, dry pavement is the best for stopping. Unfortunately we do not live in world where it's always dry. That means that extra precautions need to be taken when braking.
Rain, leaves, snow and ice can increase your stopping distance greatly. When the pavement is dry your stopping distance is around 120ft or 6 car lengths when going around 60mph. On wet pavement that number doubles. Wet leaves and debris on the road are like icy roads it can take 3-4 times longer than dry pavement.
Our recommendation is to increase your distance and be watchful of those around you. Questions? Give us a call and let us take care of you.
Happy Adventures,
