Wheel spins very easy?

[shanedavison28]

Recently my Clio dci mk2 will wheel spin very easy in the wet. And sometimes in the dry.

I only have budget tyres but they are normally ok.

It does it mainly if I drive over a drain cover whilst accelerating. And not accelerating too hard either.

Also there is a particular drain cover that I hit regularly with the drivers side wheel whist braking on it (as it is and the end of road and I am stopping for the junction) and when I hit the drain cover it sounds like the ABS is kicking in. Makes a crunchy sound and I can feel it vibrate through the brake pedal.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Sounds normal to me.

Will be down to a combination of the budgets and a heavy right on both the braking and losing traction imo.

Get better tyres. Uniroyal Rainsport 2's are very cheap in 15's, and good.

Plus it's a DCi so has a metric s**t ton of torque.

You're driving like a penis.

Get the tracking checked if its changed a lot in terms of when it breaks traction, but cold wet roads are obviously always going to be an issue anyway.

Get some decent tyres and don't hold your foot to the floor (when accelerating, and break more lightly over the drain..)?

Some sensible answers - Thanks.

To the 2 people that said I'm driving like a penis and dont hold my foot to the floor - I'm not.

Drain covers are slippery.

The end.
