I'm struggling to remember, but I don't think I was on any pedal, except when it did skid when I went on to the accelerator and turned in to the skid.
When you replace tyres, do you put the new ones on the front and leave the rears, as they take a lot longer to wear? This is a typical thing I see where people have rear tyres that are very old, and although they may not be illegal, there will be a big difference in grip front to rear due to condition.IJWS15 said:
When I married my wife had a Morris Minor, cross ply tyres etc. I do recall being in it when she spun it on the A1 in Gateshead (early sunday morning, road empty and she avoiced the barriers).
Up til then I had only driven my fathers Volvos (144, 244 and a Mazda 12?)
The MM tyres would scrabble for grip on corners at speed that were uneventful in the Volvos, even in the dry - I changed my driving style.
Think more carefully about how you approach roundabouts, don't put yourself in the situation where it might bite.
Go buy an old MM on crossplies and have some fun at low speeds.
If I bought another car the wife would actually kill me. She's only just got over me buying an old Lada in January!Up til then I had only driven my fathers Volvos (144, 244 and a Mazda 12?)

I put them on the back and the rear ones on the front and rotate them that way. So the tyres on the rear of the 107 are newer than the front.
New or just newer?When new the grip level is CR@P & on the rear they take much longer to bed in.
