they dont stick quite as good as they do when the asphalt is 130 degrees... LOL
so its 30 ish outside... coming back from dinner with my cousin.... offramp. 400 yds away.... approaching rapidly to make the light... BRAKE.... let off and set the line.... now i dont think i was trailbraking... but just as i rolled onto the throttle (like minimal increase) .... ass end started coming around slowly.... then faster got off the throttle a bit to try and let it bite.... it did... but im already sideways.... recovered.... cousin thought it was part of the show..... that was phun... note to self. "self... it aint 90 degrees out right now.." yoko ES100's are a great tire... but man... watchout when its low double digits and you are trying to corner at warp factor 9 |
