Not handlng the road and skidded

 

Caused by surface water on the road and the tyres not being able to clear the water well enough to keep good grip, thus the tyres ride the top of the water making it feel like your driving on ice and brakes make no difference at all. Braking can cause it to be a lot worse. (tyres touch road surface again and you have either a locked wheel contacting moving road or a wheel moving slower than the road and you end up either in a ditch or a car or just missing something)

 

I would check the tyres for tread wear, I understand they may have passed the nct and you only had them balanced a few months ago, BUT, they could now be right down the the breakers which means they are right on the legal limit.

 

Without being able to see the tyres myself I could not tell you, so I would advise you take it to your nearest & cheapest tyre garage and ask them to check them and advise you on the tread depth.

 

You can get away with a nice set of partworn tyres for half the cost of NEW ones.

 

Do your shopping and find the cheapest local tyre garage that sells good part worn tyres.

 

Hope this is of some help to you.

Chances are you just skidded on something on the road but if you are really concerned then you should get it checked, without being able to drive it i can't say if it "seems" to be handling correctly.
