Has anyone else had issues with the Goodyear F1 tires? I purchased my brand new leftover 2017 2SS in Miami this past Sunday. On my way back to Orlando I almost wrecked on I95 when it started to rain. I felt the car lift right up off the ground and hydroplane back and forth through 3 lanes before I was able to correct and save it. I was an a straight part of road and wasn't making a lane change or anything. Imagine buying your car brand new and wrecking it on the way home. It was a nightmare of a thought. So when I got home I looked at the tires and see that the F1's have no tread to move the water from the center treads. In Florida and our rain this doesn't seem like a good option of tire! Has anyone else had issues with them? Any recommendations on a good performance tire but able to handle the wet roads?

I personally have not had issues in the rain and I have 5/32 thread left on my tires. I think there is difference between wet road and standing water. It's possible maybe you hit a patch of standing water? Glad to see you are ok.

You must change your driving style while operating any RWD car in the rain, especially one that has over 400hp. You must be conscious of the weather and road conditions.

Rain on the road should not be a problem, standing puddles MUST be avoided like the plague because the tread of the tires are more kin to slicks than street tires.

These tires are more susceptible to hydroplaning than most. If you are used to driving on a mediocre tire or all season...these will seem impossible to handle.

You MUST adjust your speed for the conditions, especially with a high performance tire, and drive with care to avoid standing water.
