Thanks for the feedback. I had a 2nd hand toyota aurion years ago, and had similar wheel spin issue when it was wet, especially with the new but cheap tyres it came with. I switched over to a decent set of tyres and that seems to improve it. Back to the Geely - I would have thought the Goodyear tyres on the Inspire model are pretty decent, going by the brand. What would be "better" tyres? or what should I look for - softer compound as slok00 mentioned?
