How does rubber reversion occur during Hydroplaning?

Rubber reversion during hydroplaning primarily occurs from a skid that heats up the tire rubber. When a vehicle skids, the friction generated between the tire and the roadway creates heat. This excess heat can cause the rubber in the tire to break down or revert to a less stable chemical state. As the tire overheats, the chances of hydroplaning increase because the ability of the tire to disperse water effectively diminishes. Proper tire management, maintaining adequate pressure, and ensuring appropriate driving conditions can help mitigate this risk, making understanding the relationship between heat and tire performance critical for safe driving in wet conditions.
