Hi guys! Anyone experience problems with your BLM excessive skidding on wet roads? Seems to happen very often to me (and I saw it happen to another guy on the SPRINT highway). I thought it was a tyre problem, but it persists after changing all 4 to brand new tires. And I didn't even brake abruptly. Please share. Cheers!

QUOTE(r3apers @ May 1 2012, 10:21 PM) r u using rain tires? there are a lot of type..need to purchase correctly...correct me if i'm wrg  for normal road cars, that won't make a difference, no? it only does if you are race diriving at high speeds. i still don't think its tires... cos if u put wet tires on an ordinary car, they can burn on dry roads...

QUOTE(V12Kompressor @ May 1 2012, 11:20 PM) A-drive compound is quite soft and furthermore it is more towards dry condition driving than wet condition driving. For wet condition driving, it is better to have tires with wide grooves and shaped "V" although not all wet tires necessarily has the V pattern, like Hankook V12 Ventus. But tires are just the small factor. ABS still wont save you from extreme wet driving condition. One rule to stick on during driving in the wet is to keep out of water puddle to avoid hydroplaning and if you hit a water puddle due to bad visibility, counter back with steering and never ever press the brakes or else your car will oversteer and the next thing you know is your world is turning in circles. thanks so much bro! i find it strange, though, i have never experienced this problem driving other cars. just this particular model. hence my post, if other BLM drivers face this problem, then i'm worried it could be a design flaw of the car?
