What kind of service do vehicles need during the rainy season?

Be sure that your tires, even the spare ones, have good pressure levels and maintain a tread depth above the safety limit defined by the tire manufacturer. The grooves on a tire help in the rapid dispersal of water from between the road and the tire contact patch. Thus, a worn-out tire that falls below the safety limit results in compromised grip and stability and can cause your car to skid on wet surfaces. Replace it right away.

While driving in the rain a properly inflated tire will ensure that the car has a maximum grip on slippery surfaces, reducing the chance of skidding. An underinflated tire will be prone to punctures while negotiating hidden potholes while an overinflated tire will reduce the contact patch on the road, thus reducing the available grip and increasing the chances of skidding. A properly inflated tire will ensure that you are not left stranded on the road on a rainy day.
