The only time that happened to me was when I put the throttle pedal down too soon when exiting a curve and the front tires began to spin as the rear end broke loose... Counter steering as you are sliding toward a substantial curb with the front tires squalling seems to take forever to pull out of when it is happening.... You can't control a 4 wheel drift in a FWD car like you can in a Datsun 240V or an Austin Healey 100-4.

I've spun out on my Fit too. This was on a back road where it's rarely used though. Some scary stuff, but would love to try again.
Good thing you were alright though |

The real cause to the loss of control I believe is from my confidence level. I had a set of falken azenas 615's on the fit before. The tire hit the wear bars so I decided it was time for a quieter tire and a little more tread life. The compound is just different and I was use to it holding a much tighter line and the tires just couldn't do it. im on bridgestone potenza re760's now EPIC HONDA TUNING. I think the real cause to the loss of control is your shitty driving and the fact your tires are garbage all-seasons. |
