Peeling out all over the place!!!!

[purplehazetsi]

ok i have a 1g AWD, and i just did an exhaust.. now when i am going slow and punch it.. my front tires peel out all over the place and my rears are planted to the ground well and dont spin at all. So my question is this.. can i run a wider tire size in front? i was thinking of runnin 225/55/16 in front, and 215/55/16 in the rear... is this ok to do?

sure, you can run 225's all around, why run less? thats weird that it peels out so easly. my bro has a 300hp awd, its its tough to spin.

As Vegas Smith said, that should not be an easy thing to do on an AWD. First thoughts that come to mind is you may have uneven tires wear that causes the front wheels to engage due to the diff, or they may be something with the diff itself.

I would check out the tires for even wear, and if they are even possibly check into the health of the diff/transfercase, etc.

I hope others chime in can either agree or disagree with my statement.

Good Luck,

I agree, something almost has to be wrong in order for the fronts to peel like that. Your rear diff might not be functioning properly.

You have to use the same tire size all the way around on an awd car or you will damage the viscous coupling. 225 on all 4 is good and shouldnt have any rubbing probs.

I will agree with the above, I am pushing some decent numbers and With lauching at 5500 rpm's I get minimal tire spin. Houston....I believe you have a problem.
