Default WHATS THE CRACK WITH

i have an unmodded my95 WRX with 17" Toyo proxos T1-S tyres but when im on the motorway in the wet doing 80mph odd i get the feeling the car is about to slide when going round corners, aquaplainning or an i just being a scaredy cat!

cheers in advance

Mickey

I'd check firstly that tyre pressure is correct (enough). Also i think that the T1S are directional, make very sure they ARE in the correct directional rotation. Sorry if this sounds like a dum suggestion ... I admit I do always tend to state the obvious

we have roads round my way with huge grooves made by truck, and others that you cant hardly notice. It tends to steer for you!

if you mean it feels like the back end has started steering as well then i'd say alignment also
