...by car or the tires? I have a 95 Buick Century that feels hard to control when the road is wet from rain (no matter if it's a drizzle or downpour) going downhill, even when angle of the slope isn't that much. Even when I tap the breaks it feels 'skiddish", and I had a few close calls-almost smacking the car in front of me (we're talking putting tapping the breaks at 30-35 MPH. When I drive my g/f's 2008 Honda Civic, it's a completely different feel. No sense of the possibility of skidding or swerving in the same conditions. The Buick has a very long front end (proportionally) plus it's very heavy. Could the handling in this weather going downhill be just the nature be a result of the car's design or could it be the tires or both? The tires still of good thread on them even though they're not new. Another possibility--if some of the tires have different thread patterns, could this be the trouble.
