One thing to be careful of us pulling out to pass someone. If you mash the throttle and whip the wheel, depending on your car and the conditions you may find the tires breaking loose even at speed.
Silverback is on point, as is everyone else here. After trying to pass a truck at 70+ MPH with BFG's, I was on an ice rink! Then, these little cars take on a mind of their own! The kind of thing that makes you limp it home, hug the wife and kids and look for your Bible!!
I have since dumped the BFG's and gone with Billboards....
Believe the stories here!!!
