370 z Stability problem
 

Hello everyone, I'm the Owner of the Only 370z in Tunisia, :tiphat:
Everything is ok with my Nissan coupé AT7 but something is wrong with the roads in my country which are very smooth my tires are spinning all the time. it's like you drive on snow sometimes.

The other day, I was driving little fast on the highway I shifted quickly from the 4th to the 5th gear. Suddenly I lost the control of the car at 160 km / h. Hopefully I have some drifting skills to avoid an accident. PS : the ESP was ON. and It did not do anything to control the car.

Do you have a suggestions about a suspension or tires that i should get.

Thank you for Help !

a good all season should remedy that, but if i were you i'd move... that area isn't very stable lol

check if your lugs are nice and tight

What do you mean by shifting quickly from 4th to 5th? I thought you own a automatic?

Lol, the 7AT has a manual mode

And for those of us in 'Murica, 160k/h is 100 MPH

Try "Continental DWS" tires or "Michelin A/S+" tires

EDIT:

It's LIKE you drive on snow? Or you DO drive on snow?
Also, were the roads dry and smooth when this happened?

check tire pressure. should be around 35-36 cold. if your area gets excessively hot, then i suggest sticking to 35psi cold. it's possible the tires are over inflated.

Also, you live in a climate that's really, really hot this time of year. You could probably fry eggs on the street. Most street tires get pretty greasy on surfaces that hot. Look for ones with very good temp ratings and/or try a stickier (lower treadwear rating) compound.

I wish my 370 had the power to break traction in every gear:/ I have started using trip tronic every time I get in my car now cause of the lag 7AT has when u floor it. I even use it over my paddles. In drive you literally have to mash the peddle or the car will be in 6th gear at 40mph

The Automatic has a manual Mode " Shift Paddle"

Thank you !

This happened on very hot road which is very smooth and slippery.
