About 1.6 miles on the A45 after coming off the M45 heading in the direction of coventry city centre i went through an 'S' bend at 80mph and the rear of my was doing the of foxtroth and waltz (SIDE STEPPIING).
I tried to counter the foxtroth and waltz thing but the rear of my car wasnt having it so i kept the steering straight and then it gradualy steelted down.
Quite a hairy experience it was, as i thought i was definitly gonna crash.
The thing is, I do these regular trips to Coventry about 2wice a week at the same speed at the same place and i have never experienced this before and it was not raining (felt like my rear axel was gone).
it still does it now.
so i got the car checked out mechanically today and the car was sound and was asked what last thing i changed before embarking on this journey, only then did it occur to me that i replaced my 2 worn out rear "CONTINENTAL SPORT TYRES WITH NANKANG NS 2"
Case closed.
If you drive with enthisiasm like me please avoid these tyres like a plague unless you just want to granny-shift your 1.8 20vt what ever.
The irony is that my worn out CONTINENTAL SPORTS still handled these corners like a spots car should. (bothe in the rain).
Nankangs must avoided by all means.
