Just wasn't the first thing that came to mind since I have some pretty aggressive tires on my truck.

Default Tires spin during turn

I had that happen to me once. Turned out to be the front brake was sticking and turning put just enough torque to cause the tires to spin. With no real weight in the rear, it didn`t have much weight to give good traction.

How did you realize your brakes were sticking?

Default my question also how did you know?

You may be correct but I don’t think so.

Ts610 get the specs on your tires that’s a good start in checking how your tires handle on wet roads an aggressive tread doesn’t mean a thing on a wet road an aggressive tread is a great off-road tire but may be crap on streets in the rain it’s how it’s made the kind of rubber used the tread used and the width of the tire, tire presser also your driving habits you may need to change how you drive in the rain every truck handles differently.

Call a tire shop they will explain tires better that I do.
