<< On a FWD car you will definitely accelerate the wear on the outside of
the front tires by entering a turn too fast. In addition to the initial
push, the natural tendency is to steer more to get it to turn, the
proper response is to unwind the wheel slightly to get grip again and
back off the gas A LITTLE. If you yank your foot off the gas the front
tires will load up at the same time the rears are unloaded. When this
happens in a turn you will most often find yourself facing the wrong way
:-)
Anybody disagree with this oversimplification? >>
As a former Integra GS-R pilot, I totally agree, with one minor discrepancy.
I feel that if you turn the wheel too much (which was one of my problems when
I started) you don't necessarily have to back off the throtle, just straighten
the wheel and off you go. Outside of that, it's a perfect
oversimplification... =^)
