Hey, ProjectM96, summer tires or all season? Also, check those little flaps in front of your wheels to make sure they're not beat up or just gone altogether like one of mine practically is. They hang down vertically in front of the tire, and they're there to try to lessen the amount of water getting into the wheel well and to the brakes. Just a thought. And stay away from the big puddles
I only notice the sensation you're talking about when I'm driving much faster than I should be in wet conditions.

Summer Tires. idk about the flaps. I will check when I get a chance. But I never had this problem with the car I drove before the Boxster, which was 500 lbs lighter and also had high performance summer tires.

You must be washing that car every day.
I don't even see a hint of brake dust on your wheels. So clean.

The down-pour in New Mexico did a fine job of cleaning the wheels.

I feel great!! These Arizona locals are a great bunch; they are really helping me out. While smoking the peace pipe they said, “Drivem Jäger car on trail 66 to the end… There you will find great warrior chief Geronimo. He will make you great deal on fine jewelry and automotive accessories”.

All right... Another wine connoisseur! Isn't it tough living in this area? What are your favorites, Pinots or Syrahs?
