"Floating" FWD TT

"Floating" FWD TT
During wet conditions, sometimes the car feels like it's "floating" or "gliding".....maybe even like sliding on ice. It's a bit scary so, I keep it under the speed limit. It feels worse on asphalt pavement than concrete. Is it TTs in general that feel this way or is there something wrong? Tires are all near new condition.....
Another thing, when hitting a small hole or imperfection on the road, the car tends to pull to the side. ??

What tires? Mine had Fuzions on it when i got it and they were horrible like what you are claiming. But with Kuhmo ASX's i have no issues in rain or deep snow with my fwd.
As for the pulling, you might just have a really worn suspenion and the shocks/struts are taking longer to decompress. How many miles on the car?

Mismatched tires are a bad idea.
How is your alignment?
I used to have a civic with an LS integra swap bolt-ons and it would spin the tires shifting hard into 4th gear. (It was quick... but not that quick. Something was obviously wrong)
It wouldn't turn for ****, and overall just sucked as far as traction was concerned.
I thought the motor swap was the cause because of the extra weight. I noticed my tires were wearing unevenly, got a camber kit, had it aligned (itmust have been wayoff before) and got new tires, problem was fixed.

Fwd's dont use thekmac kit. But if the inside of your rears are wearing out fast, you have to much positive camber in the rears.
