Well it's the first rain in the Bay Area, and my LS does have a bit of a tendency of breaking loose under moderate throttle. If I lightly throttle it, I have no problem with traction, but I was spinning my rear wheels after leaving a stop sign on an incline. I have new tires, Michelin Pilot Exaltos, and I keep my tires at 35 psi. Should I drop the pressure, and add some weight to the back? Should I also see if the TV cable is adjusted?
With the first rain and all the slick roads, this may be typical for now. How many miles on the tires? Might take a couple runs to wear off the mold release agents but I dunno if that really effects traction like this. <shrug>
Decreasing the pressure will not do much good in rain conditions. Its really slippery the first few times it rains, due to all the grease build up from tires for however long it hasn’t rained.
