Unless you are going for extreme performance, you don't even need new tires. . . just gotta learn to "feather" the clutch properly. . . if you do this, you can have bald tires and not burn out. I think the stock tires are perfectly acceptable for everyday driving, but for spirited driving these tires blow.

BTW feathering the clutch (releasing slowly) causes less wear than releasing suddenly (imagine if you slammed the brakes everytime instead of applying pressure gradually).

 

. . chef was right in his analysis of the traction control .. .

i think vehicle stability control, is just that , a computer gets input from how the tires are reacting to various conditions and help stabilize the vehicle.

.. . trac control just corrects the driver giving too much trottle, so the computer detects spin and overrides the drivers aggressiveness, thus giving traction. . .

.. practice should help you correct this, go to an empty parking lot on wet roads to help

. . .btw, all these systems are fine, but nothing can be substituted for driver experience . .. USE THE FORCE LUKE. . . .what do you think that was a bunch of crap. . excellent drivers are tuned into road conditions and situations and react accordingly. . ..

.. somethings a computer cannot replace . . . if you are that hell bent on computer systems, go get a vehicle that has them . . . but for me, i am a driving enthusiast, i would rather be in tune with what is happening .. . not relying on a bunch of computer systems to drive for me . . .

 

If you need traction control to safely drive a car.... you shouldn't be driving in the first place.

 

very well said! :D

 

um....this car has bad traction...what it needs i would think would be a limited slip, better suspension (it sits on it's rear in hard acceleration a bit much), and better tires. but, i agree with the traction control not being needed.

 

traction control= expensive so shut up and be grateful biatch. do you think they pulled the 18k cars out of thier bums :D :D :D :D :D



j/k

 

hahahahaha that cracked me up :D
