Sliding on wet roads? Options

[bufferdan]

Whats the deal with these cars steering? Its like when you go around a corner on a wet road and the wheel is turned to a certain point the car wants to slide. Its also very hard to feel the road with these things, the steering is pretty tight but its hard too and you cant feel when your tires are starting to break loose. When my g/f got her GT she almost crashed it getting off the highway when the roads were wet. She just turned the wheel alittle and the thing started sliding and the rear end broke loose also. You cant feel the road at all with this car, i even have 17's with low pro performance tires and you still cant feel crap. Anyone else find this out about yours? It does handle really well but the steering is alittle funky...what do you think?

I ran my dads old '87 Mazda B2200 off a wet road into a guardrail once because he had 10% percent of his front brakes left and totally bald tires. I was only in second gear doing about 5-10 mph because its a very sharp turn that i knew would be slippery. Wet roads are nothing to mess around with though, and the sharper you turn on a corner...even if its slow....the tires lose their composure much easier due to the angle of the wheels, not to mention the outward momentum your car experiences while cornering anyway....you have to understand the limits of the car before you expect it to cling to a corner like its on rails...

Ive never run across any problems in my celica though. Only time the front tires ever let loose was going around a sharp corner late at night from a total stop at a stop light. I also had 3 people in the back seat plus a trunk full of sh**, so it didnt suprise me. Other than that ive had nothing wrong with the handling....i think that it handles great and provides great control due to the wide 15 x7 wheels and tires, so its a total injustice to say it handles bad.
