Your tires are one of the main factors contributing to the wheelspin. If its a big enough issue, get a dedicated summer tire like the Dunlop Star Spec or Falken Azenis 615. I have had both of those tires on high powered FWD cars and they make a big difference.
I really like Falken, far better bang for the buck than BFG, or Pirelli IMHO. Had Ziex on my wrx, and on a few cars since. Great tires.
I have falkens on my acura mdx on 20s. they're a summer high performance tire. make my SUV handle like a porsche. LOVE THEM.
Have Falkens on my '03 Civic Si. No problems in the wet and I'm in South Florida. Replaced original Michelins with them with no regrets.They're a pretty good tire in my opinion.
Falken makes a pretty decent tire. I don't think they have high performance, but for a daily driver, they're pretty good.
I had the same tire in 245-45-17 (I think that was it) with a 99 load rating on my former '00 and liked them a lot. Quiet, comfortable, decent handling, and great price at the time.
I ran 615 on the street as well as a half dozen or so autocross events and saw ~15K miles out of the set.
i was going to get falken 512 in the 195 50 15s and save me $40 for the set, but 195 45 15 never been there, mine as well and try it out! rides comfortably as 195 50 15 doesn't feel any different from the 50 series!
was gonna tell you to get the falkens over the nexuns... the nexuns are not a good stretch tire at all by any means.. i have 205 40 16 falken 512s on my 9s and its a beautiful stretch, i have nexens on the front of my show car and hate them
Compared to the Dunlop SP-5000 Sports on my GLI, which have a couple years on them at this point and only cost $74 apiece, the Falkens are awful; they don't grip, they're ugly, and they're noisy.
