i dont drive the car in the rain alot but today i had to drive it for a while and the car was just all over the road, like reaaaallllyyyy bad, mainly the rear, over 45mph i thought i was gonna spin out of control.
I have been feeling bumpsteer on dry roads but can it be that bad when its wet out?? i mean i was scared shitless to drive!
Also my tires are bold but its been fine other times... never this bad!!!
i hit a big pothole few weeks ago which i think messed up my camber in the rear right wheel to a point where its definitely visible to tell its cambered in. could that be it? any help is appreciated

im runing bilstein rear on 3/4 cut steeda springs

It's your tires. Bald tires NEVER work well in the rain. Drag radials in the rain can wreck you quick too. I use the GS-D3s with a huge deep tread and never had a problem. You may want to get a four wheel alignment as well.

I assume that you are going to be in the market for tires? The Nitto 555 extreme's are a great DD tire that works well in the rain. I drove comfortably at 70mph without fear.

Sooooo basically you're too cheap and/or dumb to buy tires when your car actually needs them? AND you're too cheap and/or dumb to get an alignment when your settings are all ****ed up?

bro you are being a cheapskate, bald tires dont scream wet traction. Next time you ask a question answers these questions mentally

#2 do i know the answer already?
#3 am i ready to take the advice that i asked for?
#4 am i taking the internet too seriously today?
