I know these were my 2nd choice for a tire but the ones I loved and had on were recalled after the 2nd year of driving on them and it was hard to give them up but who can pass on 4 brand new tires. Lol.It's been rainy in seattle lately. Lol. I have a stock ride, no modifications on engine, suspension or gearing. It has 3:73 gears and its a 4 wheel sport extended cab. On wet pavement I've been slipping nearly every start. Even on level ground no matter how gentile i accelerate. I have all season ten ply tires that are about a year old that i rotate regularly. Probably only about 10k on them.
My question is, are there any traction modifications that would help launch control or bite on wet days. I plan on going to 4:10 gearing and bigger tires later but I think this would only exacerbate my situation currently. If I went to a positraction it may help slightly but it would walk around corners funny and increase chatter. right?
My first question is the type of tires and the temperature rating on the tire? and are you slipping on all four corners or just in the acceleration aspects?
