MN,
very true. I recently drove a POS Toyota Corolla with crap tires and forgot for a momment that I shouldn't be driving it like a Boxster on R compounds!
Sometimes you drive instinctively rather than looking ahead 25 yards.
Driving instinctively can get you into allot of trouble, specially with a car with loads of understeer and no power.
