Automatic owners.
 It's because the stock tires are garbage for traction. |

Also if it's cold or wet out, you will get wheelspin in the lower gears.

Its normal. You'll even loose traction when you romp on it on the freeway if your boosted. *personal experience

Tires are slick as hell. That's your problem. This is normal, don't worry about it. Be careful shifting when cornering or you may end up sideways in another lane or curb
