tires skipping during hard acceleration with psm off

Just curious if this is normal.

I purchased my car about 6 months ago and i have never turned off psm before. It was a quite foggy earlier and the ground was a little moist. I wanted to see what type of traction and how hard I can accelerate before the rear tires break loose. I recently purchased some hankook v12's about 1,000 miles ago.

In all my previous cars that i've tried this one, when you lose traction it just feels like you're not moving and the rear tires spin with traction control off and eventually it gets grip and you start moving.

When I tried this earlier, my rear end skipped, feels like going over a really bumpy road, except in my case, the road was smooth.

Is this normal and is it because my tires are fairly new? thoughts?
