Default weird 'slipping' problem when breaking or driving.

I have a weird problem, or maybe it is all PT's and its just that I am not used to other cars doing it, but at times it seems my tires a.) fail to get traction when trying to pull out of a driveway (figure this might be due to my tires, and either wet pavement or w.e)
but then my car seems to "slide" at times when breaking, and takes what feels like to me as excessive breaking to stop, or "slides" a bit as it is coming to a stop, not just a rolling to stop, but feels like it is skidding. This happens on any type of surface- a driveway thats smooth, one that is rough, going down free way over passes..

The third issue with slipping.. when driving at times it doesnt feel as if its gripping.. I am thinking its due to my tires, but its just such a weird problem to me that I'm confused about it since I cant reproduce it all the time.

I've talked to one or two people who think it might be a break system issue, but with it slipping when not just breakign but other times I tend to lean twords my tires.

The front two tires are good year eagle ls tires, as well as the back right, and the back left is a good year viva touring (these are what came on it when I bought the car... bought it used).. which all are in like brand-new condition.

edit: forgot to add, it is a 2003 base model, not even a year old based off the original purchase date.
