    Really?? Fuel leak? Tanks in front of drives and your sliding? You just answered your own question.

    considering your tires are 60%+ i would check tread depth on each individual drive tire..might need rotation, possible alignment, shocks, or all of the above..and dude fix the fuel leak..fuel is costly as it is and you'd be helping the environment by not spilling that stuff all over the place

    I once had a set off drives that were very long lasting but you did NOT want to drive with them on any wet surface.
    It happens that a brand brings out a tire that is crap in the wet.
    Even well known brands.

    Thank you again for ALL imput. I am so happy they make these threads to criticize people asking questions on them. Oh wait.... don't they make these threads to help people who ask questions? It's okay though being 22 and owning my own truck and trailor making $3.00 to the mile coast to coast dry van, still quite new to the game with only 2 years of experience, I know in a few more years I will be able to answer questions such as the one I asked with respect not feeling the need to criticize the person who asked the question.
     
    Coffey and Vintage Thank this.
