Odd Driving behaviour when driving slippery road.

[Aok82]

Hello Guys and gals.
I have noticed rather peculiar act that my car does when drivin icy road and coming to an curv.
As in front wheel drive it should first tend to push rather than drift.
If the road is very slippery, (icy, snowy), my rear end sometimes steers off first.
Well the driving aid usually catches it but this has still caused a few near collision insidents.
I have never had this happened to me before while driving my other front wheeldrive cars.

What could cause this? or is this just A Seat leon Feature?
Could wrong wheel alingment cause this?
Has any other noticed even sligthly similar Features?

I Drive Seat Leon Fr 2.0 Tfsi 2009.
Oh, and incase you did not notice, I live in Finland, so those who know the roads are some times really icy.

Thanks for the help if there is any.

Hello!
Check out tyres on rear- depth of thread. Once I had similar situation when on front were studded tyres, but rear M+S studdless
air pressure (rear too much?)

My focus done it and it was because the rear tyres were shot, they had loads of tread but they were quite old and had just went hard, stuck some new tyres on, problem solved.

Hi Mates.
Yes I have plenty of thread left and the wheelpressures are ok. 2.2Bar or so.
The are also Studded tyres, so really a decent wintertyres. Michelin (dont remember the model).
They are a bit old 3-4 years, but thats not too old I think?
maybe they have gone a bit hard. Well I´ll definetly will drive with them the rest of the winter.

You could always check how many studds you have left in them if you think they have gone a bit hard.

moi moi!

Tjenare på dig.
I have almost all the studs in place so I dont think thats it.
It´s the tyre that has gone too hard or maybe something to do with camper alignments.

Well definitely not a common feature I think??
