My 2009 Ralliart
yeah for it being awd I thought it would have handled better.. and tip for anyone who has or will own a RA.. never turn off traction control for nothing, even if its a straight road, i dont think it would have happen if tractrion control was on... but iono it was a wet curv and i was nailing it pretty hard lol

I have a suspicion there was some Jackazz driving invovled with this story.
In the summer, w/tc off, you can easily get the car to rotate. With cold tires and TC off you can get wheel spin on a uphill take off in a straight line.
Even with TC on you can get squirrely before the TC will kick in.

You have Ice in Texas??? It's like 80 degrees out there.
The stock summer tires are dangerous on the roads. It's 15 degrees here and the car pushes in the corners. Plus it snowed yesterday and it slid on the snow under braking. I have my winters coming in. This is in gravel mode and ASC on.
Everyone should be changing to all seasons or winters. It's going to be a cold winter.
If you don't believe me, go up north and drive in some snow. It's like ice skates.
They put the crappiest summer tires on this car. I bet the Continental ContiExtremeContact i'm getting will out perform these in the summer too.

Speaking of winter tires.
Does anyone know where I can get some used 17" rims for the RA. I want to get a smaller wheel with larger winter tires for the winter. Also, what size of rims should I be looking at, i mean for the bolt pattern, etc. to fit the RA?
