    Default Kind of fun!

    Check my tires the other day during cold weather and they were down a little bit so I put them back up to pressure. Then the weather went from the 30s to the 70s and of course tire pressure increased. I discovered while taking kind of a fast corner that the rear tire breaks loose and the rear end kind of fish tails on acceleration.Now I mean major acceleration because I drive it like I stole it. I can even get the rear tire to do kind of a burn out. But back to reality today as I lowered the pressures to where they should be. It was fun while it lasted!

    Just out of curiosity, did you pay attention to how much the pressures increased with the 35° to 40° temperature increase?
