Really? I will have to check which ones I have now. I have never had my tires slip once under any circumstances. Even when my tires weren't super pumped up as they are now. I didn't think these cars had the power to do so ... you must have a manual. In fact, I have never had my tires slip in the instances where I had to brake rather hard either. Were the tires quite worn?
