Are you running the stock rims and rubber? If it is the Firestones they are absolute garbage. I haven't
had traction with them from day 1! I can't wait to get rid of them in the summer.

I couldn't agree more... the stock firestones can potentially put your car into a horrible accident at freeway speeds making quick or curvy turns. Change the tires, man.
