sometimes tires slip.. what tire size is better?
Ok, I think this topic has been discussed before but I just want to confirm...
Sometimes, if i punch it too hard, i feel the car take off and then the wheels spin briefly, bringing to the car to almost a stop until the wheels catch again and take off.. they're not smoking.. just spinning.
I'm not much of a gearhead so i dunno, but i assume this is a result of the C55 having no LSD, tires that are too skinny in the back, and overall too much torque for that setup. Am I correct?
I'm not really prepared to drop in a LSD to fix the problem but I would like to get fatter stickier tires. Has anyone upgraded to fatter tires and able to minimize this slipping? if so, what size & tire?
thx!!
