Change History

In the past month or so my car has fishtailed under moderate acceleration turns. Also a couple cases of axle tromp under moderately hard straight-line acceleration. As mentioned previously, the compounds might've gotten cooked in their first season during an extended drive to Alabama where it hit 85º. The first fishtail was on a very tight rural road with hilly hairpins, and the PSM must've engaged because I felt the car momentarily vibrating from selective wheel ABS action. Today, making a lefthand uphill turn under moderate acceleration the car fishtailed. The ambient temperature was 59, and the road was dry with only some salt staining; no grit. Unless something else "latest/greatest" with N-rating proper sizing shows up, it'll be the of ContiWinterContact TS830P. The present front Michelin PA4s have another year in them, unless their performance changes by the time they come off, probably sometime in late March or early April.
