Not sure if anyone has said this or not yet, but I'm a l'il tipsy, so please excuse the repetition. Go to an empty parking lot and practice stopping and starting and going around corners at 20-30mph. Make some imaginary corners. Using a lamp-post as the inner side of a corner is one way to help yourself. Another very important thing is weight transfer. When you want to make a turn, tap the brake slightly to move the center of gravity towards the front of the vehicle. This will help the front tires "bite" a bit more. Also, use the engine to help you slow down. A driven wheel will not slide easily. err... Again, sorry if any of that was said before. (I drive a mazda rx7 as my daily driver and have had it through the past 2 winters no problem. I use goodyear assurance radials for tires) Sudhir |
