Re: SVX Tires and handling

Then there's something odd happening with your car. As I said, mine takes a definite effort to get sideways. If your AWD is binding and you're on snow it will force the wheels to spin at the same speed when they should be moving at slightly different speeds. The rear has less traction that the front (less weight back there). The rear wheels also travel a shorter distance through a turn, so they should slow down. If they are forced to spin at the same speed as the front then they might slip enough to induce a loss of traction.

That's the only explanation I can think of.
