A stomp on the pedal can correct understeer depending on what's under the hood. But I do agree with you, but in mine it's more like I am a drift king of the neighborhood when it rains. Great skill to learn but I would prefer not to have to learn it in order to survive.

 

Whe I first got my truck, it had 235's on it, and I locked up the fronts constantly and it caused me to wreck twice because I didn't have the driving skill to trail brake or punch it out of an understeer condition. Almost caused me to wreck a third time and that's when I swapped tires and put the more worn out pair in back.

I just put new fronts on, if I got pulled over I'd get a ticket for the back, but I can catch an oversteer. Like you said, sometimes it feels like you're drifting, but once you learn what the speed threshold is, you can adapt to conditions. There's been a few times where sliding the back end has actually helped keep me from hitting something.

 

I am lucky, when it comes to driving I have a natural talent only reinforced by the mileage I've done. So the kicking out the tail is something I've handled. Just having to find that limit of the tires is something I am still learning, I am glad though my tires are 235

 

I drove threw a winter about 10,000 miles worth. They never caused me to slide or lose control unless I wanted it to. Being in a little country town once the roads get covered in snow the drifting begins. It really helps to teach you how to control the vehicle in a out of control situation.

This is how bald my tires were

Then I bit the bullet and upgraded! Never realized what new tires felt like. I love bfg's they have been great to me.

My truck already has an assload of torque and bald tires. I can tell you when transferring to different pavement under light throttle in the rain causes the *** end to kick out at 70mph, your butt will pucker.

 

I'm closer to ramguy's first pic, but not all the way.

 

Lots of burnout on those rear tires lol

 

I can't afford new tires ATM, so I'm stretching these ones as far as I can. Probably go till cords show unless i get a fixit ticket before then (I better not be jinxing myself). I could keep them to race on, but I'd have nowhere to keep them other than chained in my bed.

 

my goodyear fortera HL's have been great in the rain...almost too good
I can't get the back to swing out...of course we all know the third gens can only do one wheel burn outs...haha

I'm going to try this spare tire thing...

 

I have my spare tire on pluse a fiberglass camper shell and I can still spin tires and I have a v6.
