For the past 3 days it has been raining, and when I go and barley hit the gas my tires spin until 2500 my dad saw on the tach I have cooper zeons are these good for wet I have never spun on dry at all
when I stop I tried "emergency stops" because it was wet and the tries never locked up pressing the breake as hard as I could

 

I take it your a fairly non-aggresive driver if you've never spun tires on dry pavement (Hell I'm trying to fry mine so I have an excuse to get new rims/tires)wink.gif.

I take it your using the Cooper Zeon 2XS (the passenger tire). They are a W rated tire, which means tread-life isn't that great. But according to Cooper Tires website they are supposed to be fairly decent wet traction.

I actually don't see if you were taking off easy that you could spin tires that way anyway unless you were running slicks lol. The only thing I can figure are that the tires are old and the tread is next to nothing. No tread = no traction. How old are the tires? W rated tires don't last very long, probably around 15,000 miles.

 

They are really sticky on the dry pavement squel on turns but not loose it taking a 90 at 45 but they have good treads left. I have an auto probally that is why they normally don't spin though, I drive it aggressively usually taking it to 6200 in first sometimes 5000, the shift points are 3000, 4000, 5000, and 6200 found out the 3000 following a really slow civic.

 

If its an auto you probably just got in a puddle and hydroplaned from the start getting on the throttle a little too much. Hell, I've hydroplaned in third gear at 30 miles an hour, giving it about 40% throttle in the rain. Shot the rpms to about 5000 pretty quick.

 

Ok that makes since because it was really wet and once I was past the start line they gripped like normal at full throttle. Thanks
