Just adjust your driving style to suit the conditions of the road =)
Feather the throttle when you're getting going from a standstill.
Try to stay in lower gears but accelerate slower so that you're matching the rate at which the tires grip the road.
If you're in too high of a gear and you put your foot into,you're guaranteed to slip.
Rear wheel drive is the way to go =D
