Unless you state otherwise, I tend to think this might be a situation mentioned by texases; old tires with hardened rubber.
Many years ago I had a set of Kelly tires on my prior Lincoln and those tires had no traction even when new. The simple act of removing the foot from the brake pedal on a damp street would cause them to spin without even touching the throttle. On the highway with rain; forget about it as the car was a death trap. Those tires were gotten rid of PDQ.
