Running a 88 I-Roc (4 Speed Auto) and seem to have traction issues.

I have to be super careful starting out other wise I spin the wheels, even when I'm going 20-25 MPH and punch the pedal the wheels spin.

I just got new higher end tires.

It's almost to the point that I want to add weights to the rear of the car inside the back side panels. I'm sure the forum wisdom can talk me out of this crazy idea?

Any advise welcome...

 

What tires you have? Is the car modded engine-wise?

 

The tires are Toyo Proxes 4. (Brand new)
The engine doesn't have in any visible mods.

 

is it snowing?

 

Well, it isn't snowing or icy... but the been running about 10-20F lately...

I'd be over joyed if this was the problem.

 

The low temps don't help. The tires run colder and are harder in this weather.

 

When did the problem start? Have you done anything to the car at about the time it has started doing this? Do you drive with a lead foot?

Could it be some bad bushings on the LCA?

 

wait till it gets hot...if the car is stock you will have trouble getting proxes to even break loose....lol do you have have the 15 inch wheels?

 

Stock worn out LCA's, Panhard Bar, Torq Arm bushing, no Sub frame connectors....stb, wonderbar...

My car grabs much better after all those upgrades...

youre car is a tork monster. 350 + tpi= torque= instant gratification.. and youre foots probably a bit heavy too. u may even have an aftermarket cam.
