Rear end keeps wanting to break loose in turns or when going WOT

It's weird. Same setup as before with tuner and power. No changes

Got the new wheels 20x10 all corners with the 275s BFG sport comps that I had on my 20x9 square factory wheel setup.

But now if I come around a corner hard or floor it, it traction control pops on, when it didn't before. 45mp and floor it getting i he freeway...Traction control active and it falls on its face then goes. Make a right turn with a little enthusiasm (not 50mph or on the gas), it pops on and feels like the rear wants to snap around.

All that changes was the wheels...unless something went bad somewhere.

Picked up the SS sedan last week...and it seems so much more "confident" driving it with a little gas. Granted it is bone stock power levels and tires.

Ideas?

Learn better throttle control? Are the BFG's spec'ed to fit a wider rim?

The Stock BFG's that came on my car actually got worse as they wore down. It was nothing to spin the tires on my car and god forbid it was damp or raining out.

Check the sensors you might have bumped into them? I don't know this platform that well but I know that has happened on other vehicles on forums I've been on. Also I don't know if this would make any difference but are the tire's directional? Are they on backwards? But no check the sensors

Yeah no joke! These BFGs are noisier than the P-zero too which wasn't supposed to be.

Yes. But go with 285's. 295's may not fit up front depending on your offset. Are you running a 275-40-20? A 10" wheel is a little on the large size and will stretch that 275 changing the handling dynamics. I ran 275-40-20's on 10" +23's and when I switched to MPSS's in a 285-35-20 all around there was a world of difference in handling.

It takes all the brightest engineering minds in the world to produce the world's crappiest tires.

The wheels are 20x10 35 offset all 4 corners

Tires are BfGoodrich G-Force Sport Comp2 275/40/20

I will say this, thinking back, this all started after going from the 20x9 polished wheels to the 20x10's. Same tires were on both set off wheels.

Before the wheels and after the wheel pics....
