last night, I entered a corner and my front wheels wouldn't turn.So I blip the gas + downshifted to pop the rear out. Well, the rear swinged out but the front was still understeering.

I think I need new front tires.

dude when u are understeering let off the throttle slightly so the weight can transfer to the front wheels...

Which causes the front end to plow more because of incresed weight on the front (slipping) tires. To counteract understeer (in a RWD) just push the gas harder. This will break the ass end loose, and cause the front end to tighten up. Learn to use the 4 wheel drift to your advantage :D

ohh.. I was thinking more of cutting a big hole right under where my foot would be if I were to sit straight inside the car. When the car skids, I stick my foot down to gain some traction. Thats stoneage style drifting.

And no more worries.. I'm on Pirelli Winter Sports Now.
