| Description of the problem | With less that 1" inch of snow on the ground, my car completed a 360 degree spin on route 48 by taylorville, il while going 45 miles an hour. I was the slowest car on the road. My car is a 2004 nissan 350z with bridgestone potenza re040 tires. This is the second "spin" on those tires. The other spin was 180 degrees while going less than 25 mph. It has taken me 3 minutes to get my car in the garage when there is any snow on the driveway. Please note that the distance from the street to my garage is probably less than 60 feet.*ak |
