So you broke the tired loose in the rain? I can do that going 70 in my truck in the rain. Hell I can only Bark mine when im going like 20 on dry pavement.

RCSB with a big V8 FTW. I can do Burnouts off the line with no brake in my little pos.

cliffs for assholes.

changed gasket solved problem.
i have 4 BALD tires, and its been hurricaning in florida all day. not to mention its 1 wheel peel pos.

i didnt realize there were so many physics majors in here or i woulda been more technical with my description.

so for all of you,
i was traveling northbound on congress ave, making a 17 degree right curve when i punched it at 45 and the tires spun and the speedo read 70. this was mostly due to the intense wearing of the tread on said tires.

they broke loose at 80 tonight too, but i'd call that hydroplaning.

any questions kids?:yourself:

WELL DUH!!!! centrifical force takes an effect here. Weight is lifed off the wheel, causing it to spin. The way you posted it you were in a strait line and punched it. Plus in the rain I can make my silverados tires (80% tread left) from a stop with less than 1/8th throttle. I put it in auto when passing or pulling out.

spinning your tires on a curve is what everybody did in highschool to make people think they had a fast car or somthing.

ok, next lesson, everyone get out your protractors and measure 17 degrees.

the tires would spin before. they wouldnt stop spinning on dry pavement before from a dead stop. they just wouldnt spin at speed because dropping from 4th to second would grip. even in the rain.

i didnt realize i needed to elaborate on everything.

long story short, the gasket is fixed, the noise is gone. if your truck needs one replaces then do it. if not, dont.
