Tires for my 2017

[smoore]

Quick question: my 2017 NSX keeps breaking loose when I launch the car in track mode.. super frustrating grrr
The car had no issues with traction when she was in Florida but NSX has now has been shipped to las vegas and traction control flashes on heavy launch same situation on different roads out here...
- Are the roads here made different from Florida roads?
- Does a car shipper transport across country mess up alignments?
- Or is the no humidity making the tire hard?
I'm just puzzled and feel I'm not getting the full potential on launching the car if it keeps cutting power.. rear tires have about 70 percent tread and fronts ate 80
Thanks in advance

Maybe less rain leaves the roads slippery from dust.

Or more likely, your tires are just six years old and have hardened from age.

Check the date on your tires. If they are good I would get your wheels road force balanced I know if you dont do this it will cut power. The computers on our cars are very sensitive. Chris from science of speed mentioned this before.

What is the difference in regular balance and road force balanced?

What is the difference between road force balance and regular balance?

Road force balancing is a more sophisticated technique that can find imbalances that standard balancing cannot and can remedy them. This technique makes use of a device that exerts a controlled force against the rotating tire and wheel assembly.Apr 21, 2023 Places like Discount Tire have the machines capable of road force balancing.

I watch "Street Outlaws" on Discovery network if I recall correctly. They have drag raced on Las Vegas roads and commented they are "dirty" with sand and wind blown. So that could be a reason. Dirty roads can't take the power, although the AWD should help.

It's the roads. I'm from Naxos (Greek Cycladic island) where it can get quite windy, blowing sand from the beaches onto the roads. With Vegas being in the middle of a desert, I suspect that you may be in the same boat. I break traction all of the time.

0319 means tire was made the 3rd week of 2019.

I assume you bought the exact oem tire?

They're Bridgestone Potezas S001.. I also noticed on my last Acura service they recommend to replace the rear driver left wheel bearing as they said "it had play" i wonder if that is causing traction control issues too
