Reckless

Over the weekend while racing I drifted through an exit ramp going 60-70 mph... somehow I was able to spin the wheel and avoid slamming into the median by drifting in the other direction by hitting the brake and turning the wheel. Scared the crap out of me, I would like to avoid drifting in the future if possible (especially through exit ramps). Would a limited slip differential help? I've noticed that the car's back end likes to get loose a lot easier now.... I wonder if my tires are a bit worn, I just put them on less than a month ago

I think the tires have a "break-in" period and the tires would need to be driven a certain distance before the tires are "broken in" and grip better. I could be wrong though.

By the way, make sure ESP is on lol

slow down around corners... its only natural... our cars are not meant for fasts corners..

anywho may i suggest a set of wheels for you?

i'm using Pilot Sports A/S, and let me tell you they're amazing!

consider these set of wheels when you do decide to change'em.

good luck to ya'

Thanks everybody. I agree the car can't handle high speed turns and usually don't push it too close to the limit.... I think my problem is the tire rack guy sold me some crappy tires claiming they would be better than michelin pilot sports A/S (I've always bought michelin tires), so I'm not used to tires that don't grip well.

how many miles do you have on your michelin *tires* (not wheels )? How's the road noise at highway speed?

I'm in the market for a good, quiet set of A/S for my S55. The summer tires it came will be cooked in a couple more months.
