How often do you break traction/slide?
Just curious... I realized that I try to slide at least a couple times a week just for fun. And now that I want new tires/wheels, it is getting close to daily. Nothing huge... just kicking the tail out when no one is around. After all, isn't that what this car was designed for?

As long as no one is close to me I do a kick out once a week. Every now and then I kick on the 86 nanny and do some donuts in an empty lot to reminisce the fun I had back in the day. But powerslides are my favorite, no not drifting, powersliding. Much more fun IMHO. I have though enjoyed taking the car to the track. I like the fun/safety aspect and timing myself and seeing improvement.

Sometimes she breaks traction even when I'm not trying. Those Prius tires seem to encourage the behavior. lol

At an event? A lot. That's almost every spring/summer/fall weekend. On the street? Not if I can help it. Not worth it.

You need to update your poll because I didn't find an option for me. I break traction/slide daily in my Prius.

With 310 hp I can break traction with ease, even with Pilot super sports. I do it regularly, but safely.

Lmao at "I drive a Prius" my family has owned four but I refuse to drive them after I put mine into a tree. I don't care if gas was $10 a gallon those are the worst. I shouldn't complain because it was a free car and it barely ever broke but damn was it boring

this car is very easy to break traction and swing tail if you do a U-turn or 90 degree turn with high RPM

I didn't put daily because there's 1 day a week I don't drive my car....
But usually it's just powersliding around a corner when I'm alone and the road is very wide. The nannies keep things from getting too exciting. |

I need to replace my winter wheels, they suck in warmer wet weather... I break traction very easily. Kinda scary how fun it is sometimes... once it happened unexpectedly but that was black ice and lots of water. Going back to my summer tires hopefully soon, if the snow doesn't come back...
