Different brands of tires behave quite differently. One thing that works for sure is decreasing the pressure in your right foot in the middle of the turn. :) --Navid; /html/ba-autox/2001-07/msg00187.html (8,699 bytes)

Below that pressure, the tire is too soft and tends to roll over onto the side of the tread and/or; /html/ba-autox/2001-07/msg00193.html (9,203 bytes)
