08SGT1977 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Every corner I go through my rear tires break loose into a glide / slide almost every time I take a right or left turn. At this rate I will need new tires before I rotate them the first time. It is addicting to give it a little throttle after I am in the turn and feel it take flight and then smartly snap back. I need help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDT Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Maybe slow down before going into the turn?????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmor Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I don't have that problem on the streets, but I sure do when autocrossing!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL SHELBY Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Could be something is wrong with the Traction Control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalwrench Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Agreed. My TC is fairly moderate- meaning that it keeps my tires from slipping up to approx. mid-throttle. To be honest, it's the least tail happy Mustang I've ever driven. However, without the TC engaged- the back end goes out very easily. (On a side note, I like the TC that Ford set up- it's not too aggressive, but active enough that it makes me look like a hero behind the wheel.)

James Hill Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I only have that problem when I feel the need to have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kahmann Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 If you're running stock BFG's, I highly recommend upgrading. Few of my mods have made nearly the impact that a decent set of street tires did. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Than, what tires are you running? The stock KDWS tires are actually really good for factory tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need help. Sounds like a case of incipient Drifterism. If caught at an early stage it can be channeled into productive and joyful Corner-carving. If allowed to progress without restraint, it will eventually develop into Full-tread Burnout syndrome, in which the victim eventually finds himself driving on empty rims. I recommend attaching a really, really heavy return spring to the throttle pedal. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
