Post tires?

I have a 98 Z28 A4, FIPK&FlowMaster, when I really punch it in Drive from a stop, I mean really hit the gas hard, my Z28 will slide left till I adjust and straighten it out. I just wanted OPINIONS wether this could be my GoodYear RSA ZH 'probably' stock original tires with 32,900 miles on them or something else. I need tires regardless,,any ideas on what type of GoodYears - RSA Z or GS-C????

first off, if those are the stock tires at 33k miles, someone was extra easy on the car, so that seems unlikely. when in the market for high performance tires, i would steer clear of goodyear...they just dont make anything that hooks up really well. for a daily driver, i recommend BFG KDW, they provide much better traction than any goodyear, and are rather cheap compared to the goodyears. (about 160 per tire). if you mostly take your car out in nicer weather and store it in the winter, i recommend either the BFG KD or the nitto 555r.

tired are cause of loss of traction it sounds like, but sliding to left can be corrected by pan hard bar.

I think the best bang for your buck street tire is the Kuhmo
$159.00 for the 275/40 YR 17's
