Got \'er a little sideways today
It was a nice day today, not too hot, so I figured I'd get the Viper out and go to lunch (I work out of my home). Making a left turn at a light, not going fast, not giving too much gas and the back end stepped out about 20 degrees. A simple counter-steer and steady throttle and I was on my way, but it happened much easier than I thought it would. I'm wondering if these tires are starting to lose their grip. They're the original 2001 tires as far as I can tell. Think they might be starting to dry out? How long is a set of these tires good for before they start to lose their performance?
