It's been raining all day today, roads are soaked but temps are in the high 40s.

I'm on the way back from work in the 335, take a local street 90degree turn at ~25mph and it slips immediately, tail goes ~30degrees before I correct. damn. Here comes a sharp 315degree entrance to the highway and same thing happens again...sigh. DTC kicks in both times. This is with 18' Potenzas.


An hour later a buddy calls a favor, he needs a pickup from the same train location. huh...I decide to take the X5 and see what happens. First corner, same speed, max body roll (no ZSP), and the thing is planted on the road! Second turn, same story, no 4x4/DSC warning, no drama, just a tight turn.

sigh...Wed is supposed to be sunny, maybe I'll leave the 335 home tomorrow
Which part of NJ do you live in? I live in Union and work in Jersey City and we didn't get that much rain.
