That sure sounds like VDC kicking in. But unless you're boosted, you don't get wheel slip at 60 mph even if you're in the power band in 3rd gear with bald tires. Plus you said VDC is off and it still happens :icon14:

...unless its sub 60 F outside (even with fresh rubber). With low tread, I've had the tires break loose and VDC kick in gears 3 and 4 around 60mph at temps from 40 - 90 degrees, and I'm not boosted. Since, it's summer and the OP's tires are new, the scenarios I've described clearly aren't the cause though.

Perhaps the new tires are badly aligned?

My scantool doesnt have the ability to pick up on the pre cat o2 sensors, but from what i can gather from the stft and ltft it seems like the sensors are functioning, like you said though they could just not be responding quick enough which is what i suspect might be happening

Sure, O2 response plays a huge role in fueling. If the o2 is lazy, throttle response will suffer. I'd start by cleaning the throttle bodies then go from there.

Had an alignment done not to long after i got the tires mounted

Gave the throttle bodies a thorough cleaning when i picked the car up so i guess that leaves just one thing...well technically 2 since there is one for each side lol....question though, will a lazy o2 sensor harm the new cats in any way?

What brand and model tires did you buy?

:tiphat:

Texas boy here. We don't have much experience with sub-60F temps :icon17:

I should have clarified environmental factors being consistent and not detrimental (like rain or cold).

Firestone firehawk indy 500, should note that the car has been doing this even with a different set of tires that were good

I'd probably get it taken care of sooner than later. Your mileage should improve too.

Dont know if this helps in any diagnosis, but the hesitation only seems to occur when everythings warmed up. Before that if i pin the throttle i get no hesitation at all, forgot to mention that before

Car is in open loop mode prior to engine reaching operating temp. Once in closed loop, feedback from o2 is monitored and fuel adjusted accordingly.

Guess it's a good thing i found our o2 sensors for less then $100 on amazon lol....one last question though, would the throttle response get worse as the o2 sensors heated up even more, like say as oil temps moved beyond 200 degrees or an extra load was put on the engine like ac being turned on?

Clean your MAF sensors.

One of the first things i did after i got the car and cleaned them again last month...maf sensors are reading correct according to scantool
