tire traction on very slow turn - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Not sure how to phrase the question. I have the zl11le. I notice that when I either back up or move forward and sharp turn wheels, I get this traction feel or sound that feels like tires are not gripping or chatter.
Is this to do with TControl or what? just curious as any sound that seems foreign I will research.
thanks.

I noticed that on the stock GY Supercar tires when I ran them. I think it's the fact they are slick as glass when not up to temperature. I believe it is exactly what you noted- the tires slipping across the pavement. Only did it when the tires weren't warmed up (such as cutting the wheel to back out of the driveway).

Others might chime in, but you'll probably get more responses over in the 6th gen section.

It is typical of a clutch style limited slip diff as they have preload springs that provide some amount of "locking" without any torque input. This is causing the inside tire to try and rotate as fast as the outside tire and thus slipping a bit.
