...and that's why the speed limit is there... because some people just can't handle a car no matter how good a driver they think they may be.

I don't understand what your problem is. why are you shifting pass 5k? is gas cheaper on your world?
you need to learn to drive normally take matters in your own hands and stop endangering others on the road.
When theres rain, you slow down, when theres snow you go even slower. It's common sense if you don't have any then stay off the road.

I drove with Eagle GS-D3's that were on 2 years too long... much past the wear bar, and cracked in 100's of places... no probs...
this rainfall, i have fairly new Direzza DZ101's... and i have to say, im impressed by the GS-D3's wet performance, factoring in the "newness" of the DZ101.
oh well... sucks to be people who dunno how to drive... fuck you crappy drivers of Vancouver :P

Yesterday was a little slippery. My problem are the roads where the trucks have dug ruts, so my 265s don't make full contact in the rut, and the slippery roads are made even worse.

even off the line at 2000rpm first gear i have no traction all the way up to 5000rpm till 3rd gear...cant accelerate shit, had to use 2nd gear to start.
piss me off
and this is with decent performance all season with about 90% tread left. Before it rained it was never this slippery, today is just absolutely a nightmare to drive
FUCKING HELL!!! | whats the point of shifting past 5k anyway on this kind of weather? not to mention accelerating thru corners?
lol u should just admit that ur trying to slide on purpose cuz that sure as hell doesnt sound like normal driving to me

When traction is poor, wheel hop can happen pretty easily on FWD regardless of the age/condition of the vehicle. The largish engines in minivans these days tend to have enough torque to break front traction on throttle alone when it's slippery.

Decent all-seasons too (BF Goodrich Traction T/A), just that a 940 kg car with only half of that over the rear wheels doesn't provide a lot of traction.
I did a 180 in similar conditions several months back at that little mini-Laguna-Seca corkscrew at Sea Island going onto the Arthur Lang bridge. | Lol! I spun out at the same place a few years back  | |

If not, go to a dealership and get a brand new FWD car and do a burnout, let me know if it wheel hops.
Yes you can cause the wheels to spin in a minivan, yet they shouldn't hop. Wheel hop means your suspension cannot keep the tires to the payment, so either the minivan has a shitty suspension (possible) or the suspension is worn and needs replacement (more likely).
Think about this: if you have wheel hop on hard acceleration, what's going to happen under hard braking?

Inadvertent wheel hop, yes. Wheel hop in competition, yes. I have launched aggressively in FWD in a new (my!) car in low traction conditions and have had wheel hop. Quote: |

| Agree with the bold, except for the paYment part  . Wheel hop is another way of breaking traction.
However, weight transfer plays a role too. During the recent rainfall, I hopped my front tires on a start up a medium-sized hill. The car has less than 50k on it and most would think it doesn't have a "shitty" suspension (it's a mazda fwiw). Quote: |

| I'm not sure where you're going with this. Under acceleration in a FWD car, weight is transferred to the rear which is in part why FWD sucks for performance driving (reduced front traction).
Under braking in any car, weight is transferred to the front.
