Tires aren't catching from 1st to 2nd at all.. stupid question?
 
I just got a brand new clutch and flywheel put in my car, and I'm been practicing faster shifting now that my clutch doesn't slip. Problem is, my 1st to 2nd shift always causes my rear tires to break traction enough to go slightly sideways. I used to just chirp, is this happening because of the power added from my mods?

More importantly, what can I do to fix it? Let off the gas a bit?

Sean_350z Jan 6, 2007 12:35 PM

wider tires. what do you currently have out back?

Tires make all the difference.

just switch out to DR's and you wont have to worry anymore.

I have Falken RT-615's.. thought they were better than stock. Did I screw that one up? (I didn't want to get DR's, I want some safety in the rain)

Mike Wazowski Jan 6, 2007 01:09 PM

what size are the tires?

savvy Jan 6, 2007 01:17 PM

BhamZMan Jan 6, 2007 01:19 PM

I had the same problem for a little while...but then I put some 295's on the back and its all better :icon38:

dingobiatch Jan 6, 2007 02:53 PM

I'm on stock '06 rims, so I couldn't go that wide. I'm blanking but I believe I put 265's on the rear.

295's are serious! Did those run you like $450 a piece?

+1 on wider tires make all the difference.
