About two months ago I moved to texas(dfw) from wisconsin. Since I've moved here my car can't hook I spin to the top of 1st and 2nd. In wisconsin my tires would barely break loose in 1st. At first I thought it was becuase of the heat. But even on cold days I still spin like crazy. I'm wonderin if they make there roads different here or something. Just thought this was weird and wondering if anyone else has noticed this.
Just moved to Texas . My car won't hook here!

If it doesn't rain much there, the oils haven't been washed away. That might be your problem?
Attention whore?
Huh ?? :??:
what tire are you running. I am running wideoval firehawks and i cant hook worth a shit either.
I live in NY, send me your car so I can try it out:banana:
The question is why is he spinning in texas (HOTTER) and not spinning in wisconsin (COLDER).
Per your logic he should not be spinning in texas and he should be spinning in wisconsin. Please re-read and try again.
LOL... I know what you mean. I have lived in austin for the last 8 1/2 years and the road surface around here sucks for the most, quite slippery. I moved from Houston where I rarely had traction issues, however most of the road surface there is good old concrete, not cheap asphalt.
my guess is the roads are probably different. Not positive but thats a pretty good guess! I dunno maybe Wisconsin uses something for all the snow? lol i dunno thats a hard question to answer man lol
I can't say for sure since I've never been to Texas, but I do know that tar and chip (really OLD way of making pavement) is used in the south because of the extreme heat. You definitely will not get as good of traction on these roads as compared to high-tech asphalt or concretes (used in the midwest more).
Although its more durable in high heat, the tar tends to bleed through the rocks to the surface when its very warm, making a slightly more slippery surface.

You would think that trying to be a douche you would atleast be a little smarter.
Your point would only be true if all other factors were equal.
funny how we can never get through a thread without d-bag remarks, entertaining nonetheless.
That is odd but how they hell were you barely spinning 1st? My 1st is useless and im up north in springfield IL when i drive

My car wheelhops like a SOB in first gear here in Houston...but once i hit 2nd im gone!
what tires do you have???

+1.....the heat combined with a lack of sufficient rainfall are your problem. The extreme heat allows the oils to seap through the asphalt = slick.....the lack of rain doesn't help wash any of it away = extremely slick
Seriously??
