Reference made to NASA experiments investigating landing in very heavy rain which renders wheel brakes ineffective due to layer of water on runways; British experiments indicate that high localized pressure at front of footprint delays penetration of water under tire, and also permits it to penetrate all way back once it has passed that barrier; water is unable to escape sideways owing to higher contact pressures along sides of footprint arising from wall stiffness -- unless there are transverse grooves in tire or runway to let it out; critical discussion of NASA experimental results.
