Default jacksonville's slippery roads

did anyone drive in the rain we had tonight? my car had the feeling of going off I-t10 because i couldn't control the car's steering so i went easy at about 55mph.

is it just my driving?, or tires? my tires are getting worn though. it was like going straight i held the wheel as if goin left to keep it str8 lol

low tread on the rears will make the car 'wag its tail' ... really strange feeling while just driving down the road. Just be careful ... it doesn't take much for it to just kick out when doing that.

Sounds like you need to take a FAST driving class . Just hasd one in Tampa , good way to legally learn your car and have some fun in the same day .

My car always requires a tiny bit of left input as it wants to go to the right a bit

If you were not drifting the problem is the tires

I-10 is the worst in the rain!!!!! especially if your tires are worn. However, "easy at 55" you were still doing the speed limit if you were inside the city. After 295 it goes to reg. speed.

Im wondering with the miles , are those the original tires . If so they are old and probably dry and need to be replaced .
