Anyways back on topic, nobody has ever mentioned a problem like that to any of us at the shop and personal experience says the SLK is stable enough in the wet.
Sounds to me like you have an issue somewhere perhaps in the alignment or the suspension. |
My 350 in Louisiana survived the torrential June rains quite nicely, and actually impressed me a bit as I expected less traction that I got. I've got new, matched Conti's on the car. Don't get me wrong, I saw a lot of flashy-flashy traction control warnings, but no hydroplaning that I noticed at all.
Just as a note, this is what I woke up to for my last week of vacation in Louisiana. We had just gotten back from a wonderful run over to Lafayette for some of the worlds best crab-cakes and gumbo the night before, and where planning on an early start. Needless to say, the wifey was not impressed with the rain!
Fortunately, it *is* Louisiana, so a couple of hours later the rain had stopped, and we were off. The wife is now calculating risk of rain and hurricanes for her next trip over!
