Hi All

Saturday we had some very heavy rain in the Bay Area. Multiple times during the day I the back end of my vehicle sliding/fishtailing when making normal left or right corner turn. It even occurs when I stop first and then make a turn. The first time it happened I was coming off a freeway ramp while turning left on a bend. I almost lost control and I wasn’t going that fast. Obviously this has me very concerned. I never expected to have the problem with my 2016 4Runner TRD pro. The last time I experienced this problem is when I had a R-X7.

So let me give you more info.

I’m running Nitto Terra Graplers on a 17 inch rim. The tires are a little worn but still has decent thread depth. Way more that the head of a quarter. It happens on about 20% of the turns. Even after stopping before a turn. This is the first time I experienced this when it was raining. I did noticed the Slip Traction activating. I could feel the brakes pulsing. Also a couple of times I believe I felt the rear wheels slip when accelerating after being at a complete stop at a red light.

My only guess at this point is that I may have problems with the tires or the 4Runner has a heavy rear end.

Has anyone else had problems with their 4Runner doing this. Any help to resolve this problem would be appreciated.

Thanks
