Default Accord constantly peels out

My '98 Accord v6 peels out way too much. I'm assuming it's the tires, although they're fairly new with about 15,000 miles on them. There's still a good deal of tred left on them too (about 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch). Then again, it may just be my impatientness of getting up to speed by hitting the gas too hard while pulling out of the stopped position. Any suggestions?

Check the pressure in your tires and then if they are low, go fill it with some air at the gas station. When tires become low on air pressure they start to "peel out" more.

ummm stop trying to "PEEL OUT" saves the tires and saves you from a risk of getting a "EXHIBITION OF SPEED" ticket

is this an auto or a manual tranny ? :thinking:

I have a question, your throttle doesnt stick a little causing you to hit the accelerator a bit more does it? If it does, clean out your throttle body....

Feel free to make your own conclusions about other members motives without knowing the full context of the situation.

You have 968 posts and you don't know that the 6th gen Accord V6 only came in automatic?

And I'm only being a dick because you are.
