Default No EK traction?? Steering difference between EH and EK.

Stock DX hatchback.

14" factory wheels had trouble taking off, tires would spin and spin big time in the rain.

Si wheels same story just a little bit better.

Tires on both sets of wheels are stock. Whats the deal?? Is it my 103 hp engine or what... I dont remember slidin so much in my EG B18C1 but it did have 16" wheels.

After moving on to the EK after driving EHs forever, The steering on the EK feels odd somehow, like I can oversteer it easier, I just can't find the word for it.... Did anyone ever notice this difference??

Stock tires (14") were meant for slow auto cars not for manuals but it does that in Rain anyway. I use to lose traction all the way to 4rth !!! in my stock d15b7!!!

Stock tires =
The sterring shaft on ek's are hollow to reduce vibration. Only difference I know of.
