what do u guys reckon the best way to get maximum traction is, both in the wet and dry?

It depends on what you are doing. eg. If you are dragging you would have a completely different setup to street or track use. Tyres, suspension, boost controllers, etc. can all affect how much traction you get. In the wet I would say go easy with the right foot, because wet roads aren't the place to be testing out the limits of your 'traction'.

yeh i found that out the hard way. you dont need many factors to go wrong to lose it in the wet. Semi-bald tires, alot of rain and a puddle lost it for me.

ohh and btw, that would be max traction on the street.

Good quality tyres/suspesion and take it easy in the wet, then your next ride will stay on the road..

Good tyres, will help - better to spend a bit more on brand name ones than some yum-cha retreads. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

tyres are the best bang for your buck mod if you are talking real performance, ie corners

if thats your car in your avatar chonna you need to slow down in the wet, man that would piss me off

that happened about 2 years ago. i guess i didnt understand how dangerous the wet really was. There was no speed involved, just bad judgment of the corner and alot of inexperience to go with it. i learnt my lesson, as im sure 60% of people in this forum have. yeh it did piss me off bigtime..............but i learnt quickly and im glad i learnt then. But im sure many other people have been in the same situation, its not like im the forst person to write off a car.

Wet and Dry handling and traction are two different issues. Agree with platinum Reject shop brand tyres are fooked compared to good quality brandname tyres however are heaps more expensive.

i learnt a lesson in the wet glad it wasnt as bad as chonna i only bent my control arm shifted diff and destroyed two mags.
