Similar journey to you yesterday evening. Ledbury to Marlow in the driving rain!
The B4213 was flooded in several places near Apperley. The deepest I’ve gone with my ND 1.5, not really looking forward to repeating that. I do like how the car shrugs off potholes and windfall clutter though.
I put my foot down in low gear coming out of the Curbridge roundabout on the A40. Went into a patch of standing water and wasn’t very far from losing the back end.
After that I eased off. There was a definite prospect of aquaplaning on that bit of road. I’m going to have to change my 2018 Yokohamas.
Due for a service, probably in Leominster in the next couple of weeks. What tyres would you recommend for the next 6 months? Thinking about Uniroyal Rainsport 5 but would they be robust enough on a broken-up road surface?
