interesting theory, doctor! I think that some were definitely having traction problems that were not hydroplaning-- because they were digging-in, not riding the surface (not "planing"). However, the

I think that program may have a glitch in the "rolling resistance" module. Try varying onlt tire-pressure inputs and see if the results make any sense. (Like, from 70 to 90psi). Russ mack /// /// la
