You said about the tread levels, but didn't say what tyres you actually have? That would be the first thing I would be looking at.

2nded. What tyres?

3rded, most important question that hasnt been answered in this thread!!

No point having a spaffy diff, WALK, KW V3's and Fernando Alonso behind the wheel if the car is running on Nankangs lol ...

Wheelspin from a standard Gti in 3rd would suggest that its running on budget tyres imho.

4th'd!

A car's only contact with the road are 4 small patches of tyre, each about the size of a CD/DVD disc. It's pretty amazing that good tyres achieve what they do. As for high performance motorbike tyres... Well, just look at Casey Stoner!!  :notworthy:
