Tires spin really easy

So does anyone else have problems with slipping? I know I'm young, but still... If it's wet and I'm turning I don't even have to press 1/6th of the way down on the gas pedal and the tires break loose. Just wondering if it's something that goes along with the car, or is it just my tires?

The tires don't break loose as much when I'm turning, but if I take a tight turn at more than 25mph the tires will start sliding.

I have Kumho ECSTA Supra 712's on the front two and they're brand new.

Kumho's are alright, they dont really have the wet traction your looking for. If your acceleration over standing water or the paint in the roads that will lower the coefficient of friction between the rubber and the road.

this is also the first time i've seen your Avatar - are those projectors? if so thats a sick cut off

about the sliding..........it only happens when you take a turn too fast if its wet, otherwise your front tires shouldnt be sliding. and even wide turns really fast, i use to be able to slide those pretty well but that was when i had crappy tires on, now i have yokohama's and they stick the whole way around the turn.

I should have edited my post, I meant they slide when it's wet and I take them faster than 25. They hold the road really nice when it's dry.

The only difference with these tires and my other one's is that my old tires used to hop. These just straight out spin.

Haha, and no... those are the plug and play style lights. I was too cheap to buy a HID kit so I just bought those HID "Hyper white" lights... They don't look as bad as I thought. I needed new lights anyway

Ahh... so that's what that switch is next to the sun roof button...

Thanks guys I'll go ahead and switch that off. No wonder my car has felt fast recently, must've switched it on by accident when I was opening the sun roof.
