I Have 2001 Ford Focus An only My Rear In Tires Slide when its Raining or Snowing?
Could it be the tires or something else. Its don't slide as much on street. But on the highway it slide enough were i have to slow down a Lot
It's the tires. If your tires are poor quality, or they are worn to 4/32 of an inch or less, your Ford is simply hydroplaning. Get a new pair of quality tires to mount on the rear of your Focus as soon as possible.
Its called Aquaplaning
Your tyres arn't keeping in contact with the road due to a layer of water between the tarmac and rubber. Check your tyres aren't bald as the grooves are there to stop aquaplanning by lets the water pass via them.
The faster you go the worse it gets.
It could be tires but my guess is that you have an alignment problem. Get the alignment checked first.
I would guess it is your tires, A good tire store will give you an inspection and help you determine the issues and the solutions.
- My Ford Ranger keeps sliding (its been raining lately), do I just add on more weight in the bed? I went to turn left and ended up drifting 180 to the left and then 90 to the right bc I turned the opposite direction but then I safely proceeded straight, then I was getting back from a concert, and I was stopped at a stop light.so when it turned green I went to go and I was kinda stuck In place and my tire was just spinning but I believe I was in a little hole at that moment.
- Can 225/70R16 tires fit on rims that have 225/70r14 tires on them? I have 225/70r14 tires on my Ford ranger. I just got some 225/70r16 tires of the same brand, Cooper, given to me. Will they fit on the 225/70r14 rims or do I need to get rims to fit the 225/70r16.
- I have a 2001 ford focus ZTS, how can I upgrade its performance? My 2001 ford focus ZTS has a 2.0L DOHC Zetec engine and I want to increase its performance, what would you upgrade, install, replace, etc? its a 2001 ford focus ZTS Zetec-E engine if that makes it less confusing.
