Let me start off with i didnt know where to post this cuz i dont know what went wrong with my car and I also did not try to do the following. and i do not think driving like this should be condoned if intentional!

so i had just gotten done with my morning workout and was driving home. I took a left turn like I normally do with a bit of speed but nothing outrageous. Just wanted to make the light. Next thing I know my car is whipping around and I ended up doing a 270. (3/4th of a whole turn) im sitting there thinking "just dont let me hit a car or a curb" but it came out really smoothly. I sit there for a second and im like what just happened so then i get myself facing towards the way i wanted to go and then took off towards home. now my question is:


Is it my rear tires? My front ones are new so maybe the rear are just not following with the car? i dont know. At that moment I wasnt scared but afterwards i was like OH CRAP how did i do that and why did it happen and thank god i didnt hit anyone, any car, or any curbs!

can someone please tell me whats causing my car to lose control? besides the driver.. cuz like i said ive taken this corner and others at the speed i was doing and its only been lately that i feel the car is losing control mid turns. I guess it just wants to be a RWD car and go drifting :-) aww i wish!

so please dont flame me for what i did. it wasnt intentional and the speed was really not excessive though it probably was a factor that played a role in todays event.

That just happened to me last week. I was doing a u turn under an overpass and my rear came loose... luckily my car didnt hit the near by guard-rail. It ended up being my rear tires. Celicas already have a pretty light rear so when the tires start to get low tread on them, it only makes it that much worse. All new tires on now! biggrin.gif Got some new Fuzion ZRi tires on and it seems to handle really well.
