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?

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)

295's are serious! Did those run you like $450 a piece?
+1 on wider tires make all the difference.
