chadz34 Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 The ground is only slightly wet. Yet, when I punch it after it hits 4 grand it just spins everytime. The tires just break loose. I have Goodyear Eagle RA's 225/60R16's on it too. Just thought maybe it should have more grip although I got some suprised faces at lights.

dbtk2 Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 You have traction issues!?!? Its called rain. If I go WOT at 60mph in the rain my tires just spin. Thats what happens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbtk2 Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 With Bald tires? :?: I have new (~2k miles on them now) Bridgestone Potenza G009's. It just doesn't take much to spin tires in the rain. Basically, if my car is in 1st or 2nd gear on wet pavement and I go WOT the tires aren't gonna grip. Of course my car has slightly more power than his, but still. The reason his tires spin is because the ground is wet, end of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Yeah, my 100 HP, 115 TQ Saturn would spin the tires in the rain too.. Actually it did it quite easily. The point is, I think almost anyone on this forum can spin their tires on wet ground. Not a big accomplishment.. 60MPH and spinning is a diffrent story. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runt Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 When the ground is only slightly wet, it's actually slipperier than when it's pouring outside. Mostly b/c the oils and other shit on the roads come up when it's "damp" like that. Believe me, ride a motorcycle after a light rain, IT SUCKS. Point being, if you see the roads are like that, use your gas pedal wisely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 yeah my winter tires I have on now, Im lucky if they keep me on the road in the rain! But I mean seriously... my 3100 could spin em at 100mph I mean look at all the tq I got!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a big accomplishment.. 60MPH and spinning is a diffrent story. lol I doesn't take much to spin the tires at 60. My Trans am will go sideways in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear if the pavement is wet, and with 3.42 gears the top of 3rd gear will put you at well over 100mph. But I've never had the balls to get on it at the top of 3rd in the rain (because it would be extremely stupid to do so), only at around 70 or so. I was merging onto the freeway one day in the rain and was at ~1/2 throttle, but there was a semi in the way so I dropped it down into 3rd and got on it (should've dropped into 2nd to be in the powerband but it was raining so I only went to 3rd), and when I got on it (was going ~60mph at this time) the car got REALLY sideways. Scared the shit out of me and took all I had to get it back straight. However, I don't see why its so hard to spin the tires at 60 in the rain? In a car with what I would guess is probably ~400ft.lbs. of torque I don't see why this is hard to believe or even suprising. Hell, my dads GTP spins the tires on DRY pavement at 50.

1990lumina Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Ever noticed in some movies when they are gonna do some stunting involving piece of shit cars like what I drive, the streets are always wet, or it's raining like a bitch....that is why....My Lumina can spin the tires in rain/wet roads as can any car, even a Ford Festiva.....just take her easy on the wet roads and you'll be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadz34 Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Actually, the ground was barely moist. It wasn't wet or soaked. It was lightly covered in mist. My tires aren't bald either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chadz34 Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 I know my old geo couldn't spin em on wet pavement! True, but there is such a thing as a little overboard. My car will not grip if the ground has so much as overspray. My car is pretty much useless unless the ground is completely dry and hot as fuck.

White93z34 Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 you cannot tell me that a stock LQ1 of any year with any transmission has a hard time maintaining traction on wet pavement with any kind of decent tread on the tires (and since you claim the car just passed safety, i'm inclined to believe it has good tires.). my car will sure as hell break the tires loose at the higher RPMs on wet roads, ONLY if i'm getting on it. if your doing regular driving there is absoutely no reason for this to be hapening. lay off the gas.

THE GROUND ISN'T SOAKED, WHEN I GET ON IT, IT SPINS. THE GROUND IS ALMOST DRY. I HAVE DECENT TREAD. Holy shit... once it hits 4 grand, it just spins, meanwhile the ground is nearly dry, tires are good. So, that's why the fuck I am posting this. :?

1990lumina Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 I'm not sure what you want us to tell you??? Don't take it past 4k off the line :S Get better tires if you want to try to help the problem. If you want me to tell you your LQ1 has amazing power....then I'll tell you. "Your LQ1 has amazing power and should only be driven when the roads and driving surface are hot and dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White93z34 Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 i agree with jeff, i don't know what you want us to do. i dono mabie send your PCM out to dhp or something and have the rev limiter moved to 4000 so it can't break the tires loose. i mean i have the same shit under my hood and i got by on bald as hell tires for months, and trust me i do a ton of driving.
