Has anyone with a GS noticed the rear wheels spin with no apparrent intervention from the traction control? My old XR6t traction control would go berserk if the rears lost traction but my new GS seems to spin quite happily?

I'm guessing your old XR was a BA/BF. The traction control program in the FG allows much more slip before intervention occurs. It's much better in my opinion.

Thanks Benny but the spin kills the launch. I might go for 265s on the back.

I agree spin kills any launch that's why I fitted 285's to the rear of mine. I just find the traction control in the FG to be much better as it allows more slip rather than killing everything like the old BA/BF program use to.

easy fix turn it off when your going to give it a hard time, I cant imagine its doing much good to the diff/gearbox/tailshaft when its jerking about trying to decide to spin or not spin

^^^+1

my F6 is the same traction control dosnt do much but brake things

How did you put 285 s on? Shims?

Just fitted some 10 inch rims with a +40 offset to the rear mated with some Nitto Invo's.

Benny!! mate, exact setup I want to run. I was thinking 275 Invos max on the rear. but if the 285 fit im all over it. How do you like the tyre all round?

I'm very impressed with the tyres so far considering how cheap they are. I can still turn them in first but second is all grip, still running a factory tune for the moment.
