D21disciple Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 hi my daughter has complained that her wheels are slipping in 2wd while pulling away from a stop (on wet roads, or parked on a hill with wet leaves). i told her to give it less gas. the rubber on the rears is very good, while the rubber on the front is just fair (although the wear is nice and even). i am new to pathfinders, and to 4wd, but i assumed that the rears would be engaged in 2wd ... am i correct ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92Path_68CJ Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Yes you are correct. Rotated your tires recently? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Maybe take a little air out if the rear at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltsnotme Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Well, that's kind of normal in 2wd for tires to slip from a stop on wet roads or leaves. Probably even more so in RWD cars, since there's no engine weight on the rear wheels. Giving it less gas is the way to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D21disciple Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 so my initial reaction was right... a combination of not being accustomed to rwd and a gas pedal that is maybe a bit stiffer than she is used to. thanks to everyone for their input.

Karmann Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Rear wheels are the ones spinning in 2wd, less gas is the cure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
