2. DO NOT turn off traction control if you are at all unsure about your ability to keep the car in line (whether due to ducked up suspension or any other cause), especially if you are not following item 1.
3. DO NOT run different diameter tires on cars that aren't designed for them from the start.
4. If any of the above seem like a solution to a problem, find a different solution.


Now that we are through the don't-dos, here are some things you should do.

5. Do some research on "Traction Control", "Vehicle Stability Control", "Automatic Braking System", and "Electronic Brake Force Distribution". When you can explain to someone how they all work in detail, that is when you will understand your mistakes.
6. Do some research on tires concerning their construction and variety. When you can explain to someone what makes one tire different than another in detail, you will be able to make informed decisions regarding what tires to put on your car and how that may affect it's dynamics.
7. Do some research on suspension geometry. It sounds like you may have some seriously compromised aftermarket suspension setup if you are rubbing the sidewalls of tires.

Thank you !
