its called physics. the water is causing resistance against the car. the more water, the more resistance.

when you say your steering wheel gets stiff, how fast are you going?

well then that would explain it then.

are you telling me that you know nothing about the physics of the earth? so if you run into a brick wall at 80 mph, does it matter how strong you can turn the steering wheel?

when the water hits your tires, its causing resistance. this makes you slow down, it makes it harder to speed up, and it makes it harder to turn
