TTO: a force to be reckoned with.

The tires are Michelin 335/35ZR17. Opps! Sorry, they are only 10.5 " wide. I think I got the HP right....

If you are driving to the limits you are off the gas before you get into a 90 Deg corner. Maybe a set of wide S curves getting tighter. Maybe you are down shifting and doing your heel-toe foot work. I can see screwing up the down-shift going into the corner and causing your rear to come around. Maybe we aren't talking a tight turn but a situation where you are taking a high speed turn and you down-shift instead of braking. There was a You-Tube video where the Cobra rolled after a very slight left at high speed and the rear end went around. Was that an example of TTO? Good night for now!

WardL,

Oh my!

My very first TTO resulted in a flip. Car nearly totaled, left arm ditto.

Guess exactly what tires were in the rear of the car?

Michelin 335/35ZR17

Be very afraid! Unless Michelin has totally revised those tires, they have a very sudden breakaway. Be sure you have clear acreage to try them and don't make the mistake of thinking the tires might make you into a driver...

Sorry if this sounds harsh. I hope you can understand why it's a hot-button issue for me!
