I spun out last fall at Driver Skills day, much to the surprise of both the instructor in the car with me and myself. Some other instructors asked me what happened and I told them, "too much speed for that much turn". But I also had just switched to new All Season tires and they hadn't been scrubbed in yet, and I was running them at slightly high tire pressures, all of which may have been a factor. Either way, driver error.

So - what kind of tires do you have, what kind of shape are they in, and what air pressures are you running?
