so if the road is a little wet, my car slides like theres no tomorrow. i dont know what the problem is but i need this fixed ASAP!! the first problem im going to tackle is getting my car aligned. my allignment is a little off so im hoping thats the problem. any ideas or suggestions on why my car has such bad traction in the rain. ps my tires are practically brand new!

maybe you baught some kind of performance tire that doesnt performe well on rain? get some nice tires that are all season or has good wet traction.

Is your CEL on? Because it can affect how your tires perform especially in the rain.


What brand new tires do you have anyway?

I was having trouble in the rain myself a few years back. My tires weren't great...but it so happened that my alignment was off and it caused my tires to wear heavily on the inside where I couldn't really notice. Turns out, it was the toe that was really off...likely after I changed out my tie rod. In any case my tires felt like they were going in different directions in the rain. So it could be just your alignment...but you wont be sure until you get it checked out. Now is the time to get it done since you just bought new tires.

Had same problem but is was caused by lca bushings and ball joint being shot.

Are you sure about this? I sure dont seem to have a problem with mine. Actually ill say mine handles better in the rain! Oh wait that because I have tires that perform slightly better in the rain than dry.

It all in the tires. Crappy tires arent gonna handle good in wet weather and as the tire wears the braking distance keeps getting longer in the rain.

i forgot to tell you if you have bad wiper blades then the car cant see where it going so it slides.

yeah i would say tires

i recently had to rotate my tires cause mine where going bald up front causing me to hydroplane. im sure it would be the same effect if you had some performance tires on

If it's slipping between the tires and road, that says something. Especially because you only have control over one half of that equation.

It sounds like you just need tires.





No, it's just the driver.

ALL Maximas have trouble in the rain? D'oh. Mine doesn't. I guess if the driver has three legs and can't figure which one to use on the loud pedal, maybe then ... anyway, ABS rules!
