Word of advice, if your losing control don't let your foot off the gas. Steer in the direction you want to go and it will correct itself. You have to learn how to drive awd. Letting off the gas gives you no control at all.

 

well in this situation, letting off the gas did give me control...and i didn't go riding into the median.....i never said i took my foot off the gas

 

I did the same thing last night coming off a ramp, i almost didnt recover and almost hit the guard rail. Then end result was me facing incoming traffic luckily it was late and nobody was coming in my lane. (also going about 30mph on summer tires)

 

^^ahhhhhhhh

glad nothing major happened...lucky for me i was facing the right way though....summer tires ftl!...get u some winter tires

 

Couldn't have said it better myself.

 

yup, thats why you didn't, and he did

 

onced i put my blizzacks on ..the car pretty much controlled itself...only issue became was if it snowed more than a foot or so my front bumper and undercarrige takes a hit...

 

Next time you wont be posting, instead you'll be having your own thread, how you got OWNED by summer tires in the snow..

 

was it a Brian Spilmer type of control loss? Still laugh my a** off everytime I see that movie, such a horrible horrible film. Anyways back on topic. Getting slideways in the Evo is uber fun esp when you just bought new tires and are trying to burn through your old ones

 

If someone can afford $30,000 for an Evo I don't understand why they don't spend $800 (that's 2.6% of the purchase price) on a decent set of snow tires if they live where it snows. It's a small price to pay to keep your Evo "protected". I know I bring up the insurance issue a lot, but I think snow tires would save a lot of Evos from heading to the scrap heap and help keep ALL Evo drivers' insurance rates lower because there would be much less Evo accidents in the winter.

 

hmmmm. not very safe.. but at least you had fun..

 

hahaha brian spilner...oh man...spin your evo sideways and crank it in reverse on the highway in the snow...oh wait thats F+F part 4 lol

 

very true....plan to ditch teh all seasons for next year actually..i hate the ride quality.

 

..yea fun in the end ha....those first couple seconds went by very slowly....after realising it was sort of more controlled than free lance i felt the adreneline kick in....can't find no lots without light poles in my neighborhood though

 

...yea we gotta put out a new soulja boy crank that evo ftw
