I'm not sure if I can blame the equipment. I have a bad habit of
overdriving the conditions.
Of course, anyone *can* outdrive his vehicle and the road conditions, if
he's either inattentive or foolhardy. Or both.
Driving at 9/10ths or more of the car's capability requires truly
exceptional attention and skill, which the greatest bulk of drivers
simply don't have, and will not devote the time to develop...
And, some (95% or more?) don't have the reaction time and reflexes
necessary.
Not meant to be a put down, just a recognition of the facts....
But, I tried both Contis and Michelins on both. Neither would keep the
vehicle on the road the way I tended to drive at the time.
Glad to hear that sentence in the past tense... ;-)
