yes I always have traction control on and the light flashes every time I lose traction and it’s all the time

That right there is part of your problem. That size is more of a grand touring/relaxed driving type. Tall sidewalls (marshmallows) don't contribute to much cornering precision or confidence. Googling that tire, appears to be a discount tire house brand. Can't imagine its very performance oriented.

Less throttle will result in no wheel spin. Try a roll on rather than a stab when accelerating. Further, the trim you got (Journey rwd) is noticeably softer than the suspension in the S models. All is fixable. Improve your suspension and get some real rubber... Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 would do nicely on a 18 or 19" wheel. You don't need to necessarily go wider, just lower profile.

Great info, so what kind of suspension should I get? Should I change coils or something too? Also is there a tire you recommend without changing my rims too?

I’m not good with the G37 aftermarket suspension topics. Just remember that most aftermarket suspensions are pretty rough. Judging from your style of words, you’re probably a generation Z or a millennial so you’ll probably not be bothered by it. I actually have 18 inch OEM coupe wheels if you’re interested, but I am in SoCal.

a 225/55/17 wheel/tire belong in a civic. You'll need to get better tires. I suggest you save your money and look out for wheel and tires together. Most times you'll be able to get a second pair of wheels for cheaper than new tires all around.
You need 235 wide or wider as far as height 35-45 at most. With wider setups you'll also be a bit slower however you'll be able to corner. Lastly after this change align the vehicle. Wouldn't surprise me if the rear is off, possibly toed in with some negative camber.

Echoing what others have already mentioned -- Need to upgrade to a wider & bigger rim + Wider tire. I had the exact same size on my X and even with AWD they wouldn't hook if I romped the throttle. Coilovers are a great upgrade over the stock suspension. BC would be the best bang for the buck in that department. Or you can go with Fortune Autos (what I had), can't recommend them enough. Springs are also a nice upgrade compared to the soft OEM springs.

Joyryde is correct - we do not allow street racing stories or 'kill stories'. Do your racing at the track, closed street or the strip, feel free to post - we are all for it. New car, exciting, etc... but if you want to share a video doing runs in traffic, feel free to do so via the cesspool that is YouTube.

Something hugger... probably Road Hugger tires, which is an in-house re-brand for Discount Tires.

If you combine aggressive driving maneuvers (like street racing random Camaros ) with narrow, cheap tires and an open diff with TC off (I'm assuming)... well, it is what it is, OP. Things will improve dramatically if you get wider wheels with a good set of summer-only performance tires, and pretty much any brand aftermarket sway bars. It will transform your ride.

I don't know if wider tires are truly a must¿? I ran stock sizes on my g37s sedan (225/50/18 front and 245/45/18 rear) michelin pilot super sport, with eibach sways. I thought there was plenty of grip to corner aggressively. Never had the car slide on me. I suppose if the OP is going larger wheels anyway (18 or 19" vs 17"), probably makes sense to go to an 8 or 8.5" wheel.

Driver education probably wouldn't hurt either. Fluid steering/throttle/brake inputs are key to fast cornering. We can't all be youtube drivers.

^ It looks like he has 17s though. Dunno if you have driven a G with 17s, but it's truly miserable.

The only G that I've ever driven with 17" AS tires was a G37x Sedan loaner, long ago. There was a torrential rain that day, and the car was positively heroic with grip.

AWD certainly has its benefits in the right situation.

Woah. I never knew Senna is on myg37.com

OP being on 17s gives him much more grip than 18s due to a larger side wall. He's just pushing the car's limits a little too much with knock off tires. But if he wants 18 inch rims with a wider patch, I'll go ahead and try to sell him some if he wants.
