Great article thanks. Just checked 2lbs low just about all around. While I do not think that is significant, I did top them all off. We’ll see.

Yeah I know the feeling.. Years ago I experienced hydroplaning on another vehicle that had Bridgestones and it wasn't a good feeling at all.. I replaced those first chance I had..

If the Q7 had a place to store a spare I would have switched to conventional tires shortly after we picked it up two years ago.

LOL I’m on the NS 5 days a week although that road is one big pothole, I was on peninsula Blvd when I was hydroplaning. As was suggested here i’m Going to keep an eye on the tire pressure to see if that helps. Still going to replace the GY’s at the end of the summer though.

I haven’t had any hydroplaning, and you can’t beat the 50k miles warranty...

have not had standing water experience to this day, since the car is fairly new to me and was on snow tires all winter.
but i can tell you the ride is horrendous with the RFT tires. you hear everything and feel it too. probably doesn't help the tires are looking pretty low on tread...
