Title: suspension & wet weather
Post by: tunnie on 26 May 2014, 18:27:10
Is it just me or can a car ride smoother in heavy rain  :-\

Driving around today in the rain, just feels smoother  :-\

Or am I going crazy  ;D

Aquaplaning on your slicks?

Less noise and vibration more likely :y

Car engines run better in damp/moist conditions so perhaps that,s what you can feel in the driving. :-\

Maybe the squish effect of the rain quieting the road noise  :-\
