 Subject: Poor Traction

Message:
I have a 2000 Dakota with the 3.9 V6. It is a 2 WD automatic Trans. I have a set of Goodyear Wrangler ST's on it (original Tires) with 24000 miles on them.
I just purchased this truck a month ago and have noticed that it has very poor traction. It is very easy to bark the tires on dry pavement stopping has not been a problem on dry pavement but on wet pavement I have to start applying brakes much earlier to prevent skidding. I have check the tire pressure and they are properly inflated.
I traded an 89 Dakota for this one and never had that problem with it.
Any ideas?

Many tires begin to behave very differently after 25,000 miles or so. The Firestone Firehawk does this. I would guess that your Goodyear tires are worn and that's the problem.
I run a set of Bridgestone Dueller AT's on my 4x4. I really like them, except that they are a little soft.

I have Wrangler RT/S's on my truck, and at first I had three flats and two were unrepairable because something was in the sidewall. But since then (that was about 6 months ago) I have not any problems, so go figure.

I simply made a comment. I came to this site because is seemed to have a few adults on here. Guess I was mistaken. Sorry I broke into your fantasy world. Only one remark in defense. I'm definitely no bitch, but you just proved yourself a punk.
