@Stan Galat posted:The car broke traction a few times bombing through the mountains. But when it did, it was deliberate (to rotate the car more quickly) and the slide was short and very, very predictable.
I'm nowhere near smooth enough to drive like that without a great setup. These tires will make you feel like a hero, even if you (like me) are a ham-fisted ape.
Sometimes I'm smooth, sometimes I'm "ham-fisted" as you say. Sometimes I threshold brake, sometimes I tap them and roll through, sometimes I crank the wheel on purpose under braking to pitch the rear out. Sometimes I push the clutch in a little, rev it, and let it out under full throttle to sweep through the corner tires lit.
I cannot wait to try these tires out.
Stan, I'm still jazzed about driving like a lunatic through the mountains with you. It was a pleasure, my friend! Can't wait to do it again, with more traction and cornering power.
