Wow, so let me get this straight, you got in that scary situation at no more that 40mph?? Crap that's good info to know. I know the sling is 1700 pounds but I was expecting a safe speed of at least 50mph before hyrdoplaning becomes a factor. Those wide tires combined with the light weight are more dangerous than I thought.
Light vehicle + wide tires can result in sliding/hydroplaning in minimal amounts of rain or any material that affects traction.
