Wheel spin is always going to be an issue with an 850 running 300 BHP!

However, have you done all the usual checks like checking tyre pressures and suspension geometry?

The Toyos could also be a problem. I had Proxes T1s fitted to my old C70 T5 and they were pretty poor, especially in the wet.

I've found that when I really experience wheelspin problems it's an indication that the inner edge of the tyre is getting low. This is really hard to see unless you park up on full lock, but I have had the tyre down to the casing with this. ( not big or clever!)

Are you still running on 16" wheels and how many miles are on your front suspension parts?

as BB said, if your suspension and all mounting bushes are worn , this will allow movement and loss of traction.

volvo strut brace will help a great deal also, if all other parts are in good nick and tight.

Marshalls offer decent prices.
