Poor wet weather handling

Yokahama S-Drives. I freakin' love them

This, I have a set on my turboed deuce and I'm amazed at how well they do in the rain.

Don't get falken, I had them for a while on my 323i, and they were alright to start with, and then just got worse and worse, wet or dry.
I changed them to Dunlop Sport Maxx (really good tyres) and it was like night and day, SOOO much better. They inspire confidence!

Summer tires would also cause poor wet weather traction.

My Proxes4 are ok, I get good traction around turns, but it likes to burn out, if I floor it in 2nd, My back end kicks out around 4k rpm

So....what tires is everyone getting that handle so well in the rain??

[Miasma]

I had that problem when I R3v'd my first E30. Shitty walmart tires with bad wear pattern=No traction in a down pour around corners. New tires and I don't have that problem anymore. Car sticks nice.

no problems with handling in the rain, unless i want them

About a month ago, I spun out in the rain with light throttle in a gentle curve in 3rd gear. I think the tires were at least partly to blame, because they were old enough to have started dry rotting even with plenty of tread left.

I have new tires now, and the car grips much better. I agree with the previous posters, tires are the first thing to consider.

What are your alignment specs? It is likely you changed your toe quite a bit when you lowered the car. Similarly, did you take all the weight off your rear tires by lowering the car more in the front?

Tires. My car came with winter tires that would slide in the rain because they couldn't channel the water out effectively.

[shmutzigE30]

yeah i would check your tire pressure.

it could help

I've run my car at the track in the rain with no problems. I would say better tires and make sure they are properly inflated.
