I'm a bit gutted... This morning driving to work I take a curve to the right, normal thing, I do that every day, normally with a bit higher speed then a normal car would do, but no problems at all. However this morning the road was a bit wet. But really not much. And guess what: I slipped left and right with the front!!!!! it was not a nice experience. Nothing happened, because the slip fortunately was not long in either direction, but it was very surprising.
Are the 215/45/17 tyres so slippery ??? Or is it me ? Or is smth wrong with the geometry ? Or simply just I was too fast on the slightly wet road....

Advice please.

 

maybe diesel oil on the road...what make of tyres you running ?

 

I have the std Bridgestones, still in pretty good shape.

 

I know the Impreza has a great rep for road holding and handling but the **** that gets spilt onto the roads means you have to be so careful. I'm yet to slide this one but my sport 4wd still, slide a few times!! Ask the bikers.. its getting worse.

 

an Impreza understeers.... what a shock!

 

I had already oversteer taking curves really excessively fast, and it is great fun. However understeer is not that nice ... I'm thinking I need some better tyres, for wet rod maybe

 

Uk scoobs tend to understeer on the limit.

 

Take my advise. Ditch the tyres cos there crap. I had the Bridgestone's on mine (05 STI uk) and I hated them, no grip at all. Have changed to Michelin Pilot Sports 2's. Totally transformed the car. I now have loads more grip in both wet and dry. Top tyre

 

I have heard very good comments about the Pilot. Thanks for the advice, I'll certaily going to get them as soon as these are completely gone.

 

Can you tell me exactly what is the name of this Michelins ? is it Pilot EXALTO PE2 215/45 ZR17 91W ?
