Was cruising north on 145 in Allentown. Some idiot decided to practically stop in the middle of the three lane road near the mall so he could get into the crowded right lane. My level of anger increased, when I needed to exit the road I hammered the gas on a right hand exit ramp. Mid turn, the ass end of my 2000 TLP broke free. I thought I was going to get the car sideways (or bang into the curb first). I gave some (alot) steering input to try to correct and the car fell back in line again. After I got done with that, I switched the TCS off so I could beat on the car some more while I was ticked off.
I'm pretty disappointed with the stock rubber on my car, but impressed that the car was so easy to correct when it stepped out. Anyone notice that the stock rubber makes noise almost all the time? Stinkin economy, why don't you improve so I can buy some rims!?

 

lol sounds like a case of road rage... im sure uve done that at least once in your lifetime... well if not now, ull do it laters... i just try to keep my cool, and give dirty looks when i pass by...

some nice rims and big Z rated tires shud definitely help you out though...

reminds me of the time when some ******* in an accord was being an *******... my friend in his 02 audi took this turn (albeit it wasnt allowed but he made it safely and noone was in the lane for a good 500ft ... some biatch in an accord came from the other lane purposely to push up against him and almost pushed us off the road... so we pulled up to him and were like "WTF are u doing?" he didnt s how much ballz then cuz there was one of him and 4 of us in the car so he whispered somethign while we were rolling up our windows after cursing him out... didnt say **** when the windows were down though...

thats my interesting encounter with *******s on the road

 

 

I feel your pain man .. there are just simply people without decency or common sense in the road. as for the 'economy,' our stock tires aren't exactly cheap. I'd hardly call our stock michelin tires that cost over 125 EACH .. an 'economy' tire.

if you really want someone to blame, put it on acura who never considered OUR demographic when they designed the car. they never expected people to take up right hand curves at 40 and/or actually USE the horses the engine provides--note how their tranny can't handle it

 

You just figured out now that the stock tires are crap? Time for some Toyo T1-S

 

YES!!!

 

Funny you mention this.. I was getting onto the freeway yesterday morning when I hit a slick spot.. the front kept on going straight.. it steered it to the right.. then it caught.. the car broke to the right, then I steered into the left.. and straightened out.. Stock Tires sucks ass all the time..

 

I'll second that!!
