what tire pressure are you running? it occured to me that many dealers are sending xterras out with unusually high tire pressure. if your tires are running 40psi or thereabouts, it could go a long way in explaining the 'slippery' behaviour of your xterra. tire pressure has alot to do with handling in every vehicle, so check it out.
i think the normal range is 28-32psi?



Neil,
My tires are the 16 inch size (P255/65R16) since I have the SE model. When I last checked prior to that rainy week, all the tires were at about 34-35psi. Even though it's a different size from the normal 15", will the 28-32psi still work for mine?

By the way, as the others in the thread have mentioned, I admit it. I did put toooo much gas when I did that turn, and yes, I did over turned the wheel that led me to do some wide skids. For all that replied, thanks for the advice and lesson. As a newbie in rear-wheel SUVs, I'm still learning how to handle "her" properly!
