Tire Spin

[testingcheck]

Everytime I speed up about 80+ km my tires would feel like they are not catching on the ground and kinda skiping on the gorund. I have Enkei RSF-2 rims with Federal 205/40 tires. Could the rims be the problem? (driving a integra sedan)

Is this on rain with bald tires?

They could be overinflated and they will be so stiff that they will not get good traction.

lol no its on a sunny day with about 70+ % treads

check your PSI on all 4 tires like QuasarCav said it sounds like your tires are over inflated resulting in a loss of traction.

I'd say that it's not the result of over inflation, because that would cause less traction, but not skipping over bumps.

The component of your car responsible for keeping the tires on the road are the shock absorbers. Maybe yours are blown? Or do you happen to have performance springs with OEM shocks?

In any case, check the tire pressure and do a visual check to make sure the toe and camber isn't way off, since doing these things will only take a minute, then determine if your shocks are fucked.

So check to see if my tires are straight pretty much? (Camber check?)

Maybe your clutch is toast!?!?!:dunno:
