As I was sliding sideways all I could see was this huge concrete wall, about 12 feet high, getting closer and closer. I was about three feet from the wall when I finally got traction again...... My heart rate shot up like a rocket, took at least a half hour to calm back down. I came so close to taking the entire side of the car out. The Nannies were going crazy and the understeer just kept the car going sideways. Did that same turn at that same speed and maybe even a little faster in warmer temps with no understeer whatsoever! These tire No Like the Cold!
