Car Slips?
Hey guys,
I just put on some 19" Foose Lusso's...
Now, the wheels are heavier so I do notice less power, but I'm also noticing two other things:
1) Easier to make the wheels "slip" off the line, if I just floor the car...
2) Sometimes if I just floor the car to the metal, the car loses traction and slips around left and right, and ESP has to stabilize it.
This didn't happen with the stock 17's..
Is this normal, or is there something I can do about it?
Mike

Yep, probably just new tires. They often have a greasy "release agent" on them.
Don't take your car hard around corners till you get it sorted out.
Meaning: It is good to scuff them up a bit, just don't test the limits on a twisty mountain road.
