Hey, The bridgestone tires we got on our STi are not as grippy as u think on wet surface. last week I exit into a roundabout then exit into a tunnel as usual. the road was wet, I applied the gas lightly at the roundabout just try to test the handling, then it started to skid and I let go of the gas and the car was back in track. Then after that I thought maybe I felt it wrong, there was no way the car skidded with this slow turn...but I was wrong...yesterday night I tried it again. This time I tried harder and the car almost spun out. At the point where I almost exit to the tunnel at the roundabout the car skidded to the right almost 90 degree and the car already entered the tunnel, then I steered all the way to the right immediately to prevent the car spinning, then the car skidded to the left, then I steered again and it skidded to the right, and then one more time the car finally headed straight. WoOo...what a relief...the car and I were unharm, and during that moment I didn't step on the gas or the brake at all, I just steered left and right.
Now here are my questions. If you do the same thing, would you expect the car will lose control? If the car starts to skid at the same place again, what do you think will happen if I steer immediately and then floor the car. Will the car be able to exit safely or will make things worse? I didn't dare to step on the gas at that moment because I was too close to a wall, my instant response was to steer. Should I have stepped on the gas?
