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

Aquaplaning on your slicks?

Less noise and vibration more likely

Not sure rain can be described as a lubricant Tunnie.

Driving more slowly to suit the conditions?

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 $:-\$
