Hello,
I have a 99 Corolla which I purchased four years ago. Car has been great with the exception of one issue, it's handling in rain is getting worse as the car gets older. It has a tendency to slide on the road, even when going extremely slow (5-15mph). We thought the issue was the tires, they had a little tread left on them, but were old, so we bought new tires. Even after replacing the tires there was no change. This last week I slid off the road in the car going about 20 mph at a small bend. Luckily I missed the post and was able to get back on the road shortly after stopping. I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue or knows where I might start looking to solve the issue? I can't imagine this is just normal for the car. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Like I said its a great car, no problems at all, until there's wet roads.
