I think the speeds were a bit too slow and the weight shift to the back would grip the rear. Dry conditions plus low tire pressures….not the right thing to do on the skid pad. Sheered the thread right off.

Just ordered GT Radial sx2s from Walmart, lets see how they hold up.

to induce oversteer (rotate) you need to be braking properly and not accelerating, that will always push. Try that skidpad when they wet it. Use crappy tires with no traction. Skid pad is more car control exercise and not really where you look for the limit.
