Hello MCFers, seeking expert opinions. Sometimes I drive my FIL's car, FD Civic stock. On more than one occasion I have experienced the rear sliding. Once was on some backroad corner in Johor, and again recently when making a u-turn from stationary in Sg. Both times, the road was wet, but speed was fairly low. Both times had 1 front passenger, both pax total weight no more than 170kg. My wife driving it on her own has also experienced multiple occasions of loss of rear traction, also on wet road on a bend she says. Tyres are not bald, mileage should be <20k. My wife and I had feedback this to my FIL before and supposedly his tyre shop checked and said all ok.

1. Could this be an alignment and/or suspension issue?

2. I know we like to bash cheap tyres here, but could these so easily lose traction (low speed turn in wet)? Fronts are Firenza ST-something and Rears are Rotalla Setula E-Race, all in stock 205/16 size. Which leads to...

3. Could the different brand/model in the front vs rear be the cause? If my FIL is really stubborn about using budget tyres, could just changing 2 tyres to follow the same brand/model be sufficient to stop these instances of low speed rear traction loss?

Thanks in advance!

What different tires are we looking at here? What tire pressure? Pls measure when the tires are cold. Has the tire wear reach the tire marker on the different tires?

Cheap or not the tires shouldnt be losing grip. If i am not wrong the tires should be worn. Losing grip in the wet is an obvious indication.

Your FIL should be a slow driver who didnt felt any difference. If I were you I wouldnt drive so fast in the wet.

speaking from a current s FD cheebic owner, try not to use different set of tyres for front and rear tyres.

Change all to the same tyre brand preferably, you could consider Pirelli Cintutaro P7 which is not bad if your looking for comfort touring tyre with decent grip.

If you want even better grip in both dry and wet then I recommend using  michelin pilot sport 4 which im still currently using. " best" daily driving performance tyre IMO for stock rim size ( 16 inch)

If you want budget there is tourador tyres but Im not sure about the grip levels of these tyres, pricing wise dont think any new tyres can fight tourador though..

P7 for 205/55/16 [civic stock profile] a little hard to find. if have also the price may not be agreeable to his FIL.

Don't really like Michelin cos of their softer tire construction. Good for reducing tire noise, but is not my priority.

Me only go for dry and wet weather grip. Nothing else matters above safety. 😊
