Dave1647545494 Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 the folowing is fictional and for entertainment and educational purposes only so I'm driving today and I find thsi nice dry turn to mess around on that has a sign for normal people to take the turn at 35mph I'm exiting said turn at roughly twice this speed when the car abruptly decides it doesn't want to turn anymore and begins to push over the tires and go in straight line. I have all the handling stuff big swaybar pretty good struts and shocks etc. but the tires are just h rated street tires do you think I'm just pushing the tires past their roadholding capability or is there something in the suspension that needs tweaked. its fwd too if that matters. any input appreciated its irritating to have to steer out of a slide in a fwd. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vitamincj Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Someone has to ask the obvious question: Were the tires properly inflated? On the 2 family cars that I own the tires tell you well ahead of time if there is any chance that traction is about to be lost. One has Firestone FT70C's and one has generic rubber.

Dave1647545494 Posted July 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 yes the tires were inflated to the correct pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
