j p liddy
thank you all for your valued input on this subject im not a fast driver and take bends and approaches farily steady for safety and to prolong life of tyres .and fuel economy . as the power and speed of cars today is way too fast for safety on our Roads and built up areas i do have sympathy for cyclists and children trying to cross roads ! only my thoughts !

I always keep the least worn tyres on the rear, with either rear- or front-wheel drive. This has served me well in 1.3 million miles of driving/motoring, which has inevitably included the (very) occasional sharp manoeuvre. Stan. |

Certainly if the back end loses grip, even in a FWD car that doesn't torque steer, it's hard pulling the car back to where it should be going as the back end is wagging around like a randy dogs tail when he sees a pack of bitches. The trick is to make sure the back end has grip at least equal to, if not greater than, the front.
