2005 Dodge Stratus, 30,000 miles. 4cyl, SXT, no ABS.

This car is horrible in the rain. I have Goodyear Eagle radials with good tread. Proper alignment and tire pressure. I have slid through 2 intersections at low speed and have pumped the brakes...
How can I correct this problem?

Thanks,
Scott

sounds like the front brakes are locking up to soon. but goodyear eagle tires are made of hard rubber and have not done well in the past.
