Is200 Tailhappy?

[slowis200]

so i just got is200 automatic and my uncle has one just like mine expect his stock height im lowered.. and he is always warning me that those cars are very tailhappy in wet? is that true?

It is rear wheel drive so yes in the wet or snow you need to be careful however IS200 really needs more power to be dangerous in the dry.

And if you have got cheap and crap tyres

Okei thanx guys! Im currently on nail tires brand new so i got no worries at the moment, i was pretty nervous because my uncle is also on new tires but not nails and his car slides in roundabouts! Btw i came from w210 e430 benz and that car didnt slide in rain even on bad tires! Not that i tried haha.

Nail tyres???

Snow tyres??

I think you'll only slide if you are doing silly speeds and yanking the steering wheel extremely to one side.

Wheel alignment also plays an important part, my brothers celica with bad front tyres understeers on mild turns, my old CTR corners like rails.

snow tires (studded) we call them nail tires here in Iceland, yeah the power isnt that much in those cars you really have to yank them if your gonna go sideways or be on very bad tires

For a moment I thought 'Nail Tyres' was a Chinese maker who had got their English language marketing all wrong.
