I guess its possible.
To get an auto Cherokee to spin the tires a little going into 2nd gear.

I felt it tonight, and the last time I just hammered it. I think the trick is to leave the shifter in 3, and not D. It shifted hard and it felt like they broke loose a little bit, nothing extreme at all but I kinda thought it was funny.

It was dry when it did it tonight, thats what was suprising.

Back when I had the stock tires on it if it was wet out I could punch it at 35-40 and it would break loose if I wasnt careful, good times right there... nothing like going near sideways through an intersection when ya really didnt plan on it...

my cheapo tires arent too great on the street but despite their tread pattern on rocks dirt and dry ground and even shallow muddy ground they grip unfailingly, which is pretty sweet for cheap tires... hopefully ill have my 31's soon though, BFG MT's
