Tires wont grip

[TheEightyNine]

I have a set of Michelin Harmony tires on the back of my s13. They came with some SE wheels i picked up, both have about 85% tread left. Whenever its wet out side if make a sharp turn or turn fast my back comes out. sucks driving when its wet outside. They are directional tires, i have them mounted with the arrow facing towards the front of the car.
What do you guys think? And this is me just casually driving, not like im driving crazy or anything

Its your driving.

is this a trick question?

[yetijeff]

lol. when that happens. punch it. it makes fer good fun in the rain

Sigh......

You have a rear wheel drive vehicle. If you make sharp quick turns most likely your rear end will "kick out" as you say, especially on a wet surface when there is rain.

Also, I'm sure its like 185 or 195/65 so you aren't exactly putting down the contact patch needed to grip and especially on some tires like the ones you have on the back of your car.

Here is how you should fix the problem.

1.) Slow down
2.) Stop making quick sharp turns
3.) Learn how to drive a rear wheel drive vehicle
4.) Man the fuck up

Good luck with driving

ditch the se rims and go with something wide with a tire that suits it.

[TheRealSy90]

Troll?

240 + sideways = expected.

[xpertsnowcarver]

make a sharp turn or turn fast

That's your problem right there. Just slow down. Save money, and use them until they are worn out.

[yetijeff]

is the diff welded? i could maybe see this makin it more prone to unintentional drifting in the rain. other than that... what everyone else said

[kuelee]

im suprise to see no one has said anything about tire pressure.. id say lower the rear down to like 30-32 psi for shitty tires...

5.) Attach a bigger set of balls so you can..
6.) Ditch this emo lifesyle that I have been seeing come up lately with kids..
7.) All else fails....stay inside and wait for the rain to stop.


and now for real questions. What tire pressure. What size tires. How old are these "used" tires. Is anything modified. Is your alignment accurate. Do you hand over hand when turning. Have you sang "I feel pretty" lately. and lastly.....are we talking about heavy rain...or light drizzle?

You just identified the problem.
Driver fail.

AMEN!
dude i LOVE the rain.
and i dont need to post why.
you really should know your problem before you posted.
learn how to drive RWD car.

Also having a wider tire doesn't make a bigger contact patch when its wet out.

[shiftdrift]

^^^^^what? seriously. do tires shrink when it's wet out or something? put a 255 on your car and put a 195, go drive in the rain, guarantee the 255 handle's better. facepalm.

[gsxr141]

wow, this is getting good.

i don't see what the problem is, just enjoy the sideways.

Wow. Genius here...

[sidewayz240]

So much fail in this thread.

Lol.

[Hashiriya415]

Look to your left when making a right. Or look to your right when making a left turn. It's a 240SX it has large door windows so you can comfortably look through them and steer the car.

[Ceepo]

lmao, azn doc.

#4. Man the Fuck up...

^this is true

[Couped_up'd]

He must have been a hondah owner.

[TheEightyNine]

Damn i got flammed bad lol

Ive been driving this car for three years. Ive gone through afew sets/brands of tires. And with this particular tire it has me all over the place in the rain. I guess i can try lowering my tire psi and i guess ill have to drive it alot slower.

I was expecting this when I read your post.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

What the fuck; I feel like I'm on Nico.

Shitty tires are shitty tires...invest on some better tires. Go baller with some Advan AD08s or Dunlop Star Specs. You'd be surprised what good tires would do on these cars...

[CrimsonRockett]

I've ran Dunlop Star Specs. Definitely one of my favorite tires.

OP, you already got a good amount of responses. You pretty much answered your own question within your own post.

Search next time.
