All, I am struggling with traction on my goat. Tires are good condition (3500 miles). I have complained about the BF Goodrich tires before as being too hard (400 treadwear), and how stupid it is that these are put on the GTO. Anyway, I am running low air temps 30 front 28 rear currently (I have also had them at 32 all around). If I am taking a turn of about 30-50 degree angle and hit the gas at all, the rear end slips out on me. There is no traction whatsoever. The control kicks in and allows me to regain control before looping it, but this is awful. The rear end almost swung into a car yesterday.
I used to have a '96 Mustang GT, solid rear axle, not traction control and all and I have to say it stuck to the road much much better than the GTO. I DO understand that was 190 rear wheels vs something like 340HP.
My question, is this just the GTO or can I blame it on the tires? I would have thought this thing would stick. I'm starting to wonder if a good set of new soft rubber will make any difference. Any suggestions or advice?
