Default Traction issues "chirping"

so lately i feel like my car got slower. but after further diagnosis i found out its my tires dont have traction anymore. if i punch it it makes a hissing noise and i feel the tires give out. especially goin into 2nd or 3rd. it doesnt chirp anymore just slides.

Bald tires will definately affect how you hook up. It would be a good idea before the winter snow hits to get them replaced.

wish

1+^ and some new tires if you have not already checked? Should be an easy question to answer!

I think he means that you can adjust the camber/alignment of the rears, not the traction.

And why would you want more traction? LOL

Well, If you want more traction, you may want some of these babies.
