    So over the past 3 months in the dry you have not have a problem with smooth starts?

    Generally we only get axle tramp from launch starts
    but poor wet performance/grip from the tyres can give rise to axle tramp
    Uphill in the wet is a worst case scenario for FWD - tyre pressures and tyre quality may be a factor
