How did locking up the rear brakes help you regain control? You entered a corner at 90+ and then made yourself lift causing oversteer.... where was the "curse" in all this!!?? Can you post some pics of your car and setup?

90mph turn on public roads and any car take this turn? I might be wrong, but aren't speed limits in US lower then that?
Traction Control off - better don't do that on public roads. During daily driving/cruising attention level is way way lower then concentration on track, and there can be many uncontrollable & unpredictable variables. Suggest to keep at least vsc sport as minimum. If you change car rake, it will change also grip balance more to oversteer If you needed to change tire size to reduce rubbing, imho that sounds like your car has many handling issues from chosen tire/wheel sizing and overlowering. Some unwise mods in that area need extra mods to fix introduced issues, or reduce extent of mods/changes that made car worse. If you select tire sizing way off from stock, then it's always worth to do in more educated fashion to know what one is doing, then going by hunch of what "subjectively seemingly looks cooler" and possibly introduce handling issues. How high you may value mentioned alignment shop says nothing to us. Post actual alignment values to see for abnormalities in those. The reason why it's always worth to ask for alignment printout - to ensure QA of their work and for others to enable to give actual useful advises instead of playing spanish inquisition and guesswork games. If car is oversteering, driving inputs that add even more transfer mass & grip to front, reducting those from rear, will make it even worse, so one shouldn't brake or lift-off mid turn, just judge reasonable entry speed and balance neutral grip with partial throttle mid turn. Or rely on nannies, that you have turned off due overconfidence. In my eyes result was caused by several factors, them all enhancing each other issues/impact to handling. As to which ones are better to fix .. not enough info in OP. |

however many roadways have a sort of unspoken 70-90mph running speed that moving at a slower pace actually creates more of a rolling roadway hazard.

Your back tires are too tall. It will make it so they read slower than the fronts. Therefore the car won’t know they’re losing traction until it’s too late. Fix the tire setup first, then get the alignment checked again and post the printout. We can’t really help more without more info.

It’s not a turn. Excuse me not knowing the exact term. But it wasn’t a straight away on the freeway. More like a curve that requires you turning the wheel slightly to the right. Before I ran the 245 40 18 I could hit these roads at 90 with 100% confidence. But while on the new tire setup in the back the car felt like a boat rocking left to right. As if it wasn’t responding to me trying to keep it centered while in my lane. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yeah it totally was the tire setup. I went back to 245 35 18 and I passed this same spot on the freeway with no issues. I didn’t realize the two tires in the back would change the dynamics of the car. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

This was exactly the issue ! Again excuse my ignorance. I didn’t know the height would effect the steering so much. Went back to the 245 35 18 all around and it feels how it should! I started this thread right after the incident so I failed to explain clearly. Especially the section of the freeway That the accident occurred Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Tire compound difference + larger rake angle from larger diameter rear tires (further reducing traction at rear)... keep same exact tire and size on all four corners from now on.
I experimented with track performance tires front and stock tires rear and it was hilarious fun in slow speed corners/in town traffic...not so much fun at highway speeds or high speed turns.
