I finally broke in the 6mt g37s last night. The roads were dry, but I noticed quite a bit of wheel spin when I was accelerating in 3rd just around the 5k rpm mark. My tires are General Tire G-Max (came with the car). Do these tires just suck or is my car going to explode? I've also gotten wheel spin when launching rather tamely, and when shifting poorly into 2nd (rpms were too high). VSC is on.

On another note... wow... I had not driven this car into high rpms yet... holy ****.

 

On a new g37s 6MT? I thought they came with bridgestone potenzas. Mine did.

 

You were either really in 1st gear, or
You're On wet or gravel pavemeny or bald tires bro.

 

Must be bad tires!!!

 

How fast were you going?

 

I bought it used. 2008 6mt. Thts why it doesn't have the bridgestones.
The tires are almost new, lots of tread, but they're all season.
I was definitely in 3rd unless you can go 90 in 1st. The wheelspin occurred around 55.

 

Pop your hood and see if it has two nice looking turbo chargers? :P

 

where did u buy it?

 

I wish it had TT... if I save up enough money I want to put on a supercharger.

I got it at carmax of all places.... lol

 

^ This... Haha, wouldn't that be a he!! of a find!

 

Cold hard tires I'm suspecting. Not enough power to do that top of 3rd gear unless its wet pavement, ice or someone put a 200 shot of nitrous on it.

 

The tires are bad, get the factory Bridgestones!

 

you do have 300+ HP stock. In the right RPM, cold weather and lousy tire combined, spinning in 3rd is definitely possible.

Generals are not bad tires. I'm sure it'd be great on your mom's Lincoln or Lexus. But anything that is meant to last 75k miles has no part on a high performance car with a manual transmission.

 

+1 check under your hood maybe you got more than you think lol

 

Hahaha. I've popped the hood multiple times. Not even intakes. The only mod is some nifty clear bras =D
