June 26, 201411 yr So I recently replaced my passenger inner and outer bearings, seals and cv axle due to cv axle noise. Soon after I put 185/80/13 tires on, there were junk yard $10 tires. Now EVERYTIME i start out i make a burout / tire skreech sound from the driver's (left) tire. It did happen be fore the repairs. but only when going up hill from stop, mostly turning right. Question: Do you guys running the 15" wheels and big tires have this problem? tyia
June 26, 201411 yr I've only been able to burn my tires ( 16" rims 26" tires) with my almost 300,000 mile ea81 once, and it was me gunning it from a dead stop on the top of a Seattle hill trying not to slam into the smf that was tailgating me
June 26, 201411 yr My now long gone 90 turbo wagon with 205/65/15 tires would often do that but the engine was tweaked and was putting out around 150 HP. Edited June 26, 201411 yr by john in KY
June 26, 201411 yr Soon after I put 185/80/13 tires on, there were junk yard $10 tires. This. Get better tires......they are the single biggest factor in safety other than perhaps brakes........but sh#t tires will yeild braking ineffective so yeah......get better tires.
June 27, 201411 yr Open diffs love to 1 tire fire with crappy tires, but a blown strut and/or radius arm bushing can also contribute to front wheel hop. But better tires would probably prevent it happening no matter what.My girlfriends stupid ralliart was doing awesome front tire burnouts, it ended up being a blown motor mount... Doesn't apply to our subaru drivetrain layout but it was a weird fix. Edited June 27, 201411 yr by Ibreakstuff
