I don't drive fast! Im 25 years old and have never had a ticket or wreck, I don't go above the speed limit hardly every, I enjoy my cheep insurance. So my "restraint" in the vehicle isn't an issue.

The only conclusion that I can draw is that ...
well, most of us probably can't. There's either just something we're not getting, and something that may only be solved when it's seen or experienced. Unless you want to video it somehow.

I live on the North-side 1604/281 and work in the medical center. Honestly, your tires may be going as these Bridgestones do not last especially with track/strip use. Burnouts in the water box will chew them up really fast. My G has the same tires and they started going around 12K with primarily highway use only and had to ultimately be replaced at 18K. They were shot and still had some tread depth to them. Just something else to ponder.

Another possibility could be you're slicking your treads somehow when you put silicone tire dressing on, though that's a far fetch. It has to be the road surface treatment, particularly in the summer heat. |

I have the same problem with my '08 350z I'm going to try lowering my rear tire pressure to 30 psi and see if that helps, I'm sure it won't help my gas mileage |

Go drive down Bulverde road north of 1604. I used to live down there, and I know parts of that can be very slippery.

I drive all over SA an AUS and have no problems when it rain it does make the roads very slippery. 31 days over 100 degrees does not help either
Does it seem to happen more in he afternoon when the roads are melting? I have had my 370 since Jan it is easy if you want to slide it sideways We have quite a few 370's now in the River City we should have a get together at Starbucks or Champs and talk rides and mods. I'm in the Stone Oak area.

I'm in SA, and don't have any problems in my 335i, and I drive w/ the traction control off most the time. Never experienced it here with any cars any more than anywhere else.
As someone stated before be very careful when it rains here because due to the high heat, when the water hits it, it gets very slippery. Once it's rained awhile it gets normal again. Nevertheless, welcome to SA. |

35 has no problems...410 is a nightmare. Let alone the driving or better yet the drivers are just horrendous. Good luck.
