Description of the problem	I just bought a used 2005 subaru legacy gt. 20 minutes after purchasing the vehicle i was driving along a snowy highway and accelerated just after a set of lights. The rear end of the car felt very loose and the car squirreled after gaining control and accelerating to keep traffic moving the rear end squirreled out and i was unable to regain control. The car spun 180 and slammed into the snow bank sideways. It has the stock potenza 205-45-17's i have never lost control of a vehicle in my life like that 2wd or 4wd.
