I thought she left TC on.
Well, yea. I think she left the TC on, which then made the car overheat, and then she kept tracking it.
You would think if they are relying on someone to be an accurate tester they would at least think to turn the TC off right? I know my car bucks all over the place when that kicks in if I forget to turn it off.
In the article Hyde posted it says her name is Karla Pestotnik

Is she the Cole Trickle of test drivers? Cams drive well but knows nothing about cars?

Finally swapped my 235/40-18's on last night. Didn't get to feel the traction difference this morning as it was raining, but I have A LOT more room than expected. I can easily fit a 245 in there, and I'm pretty low. I'll post a pic later, but I couldn't believe the amount of room I still have.
Neuspeeds RSE07, 18x8 ET45. The front I feel like I could easily fit a 255. The rear maybe a 245 without destroying the quarters. Front has a TON of room though.
Granted they are nothing crazy, only Conti DW's, but looking through specs on tire rack they seem to be wider than most every other 235.

Thats interesting, I was looking at going 235's but maybe ill go bigger now. Stock fenders? No rolling?
No they are rolled. Probably pulled a bit too. I literally rolled them with a wooden toilet plunger handle back around 2012 when I was way too low with VMR V710's and kept catching the fender. Maybe that's why I seem to have extra room.
I took a 90 degree sweeping offramp at like 80mph this morning and nothing rubbed at all, so I'm pretty pumped. Traction in 3rd seems to have improved quite a bit as well. Still not good, but better than 225's for sure.
