You are probably right Garth but it is the wheel that maintains the largest proportion of the side load stiffness.

On a stiff bias ply walled tire it is probably less signifigant then a radial tire.

I know that wheel proportion is an issue on a Mangusta. The Turbo 911's have similar oversteer traits.
I am not a professional driver so I find it a difficult reation to put my foot into the accellerator to pull the car up as it breaks away.

Actually now that I think of it when I am towing with my van high winds can whip the trailer a bit and then the van as well.

The fix is to put your foot into the accellerator to pull up on the trailer and not let it pull you.

That all works fine as long as you can accellerate and not have to panic stop.

There is no fix for oversteer in a panic stop. The rear will come around. There are some that like an oversteering car on a race track but I don't.

Snap steer can under certain conditions get the car through a turn faster. It is too exilerating for me. I don't need to jump start my heart just yet. That kind of adrenalin rush hurts.

And yes I know about the 8/10 GTS rear bar with 225-50-15 and 295-50-15 Toyos. That is what I run.
