Last night on my ritual 250k drive from home to work, it started to rain very heavily. Adjusting for conditions I slowed down and at 65 mph I barely felt in control of my car. I am thinking that the 245/40 R18 tires were acting more like water skis than the usual magnets that hold my girl to the road. So I slowed down to 50mph which felt like a moderate speed. Thing that kills me is the Audi's were still doing 90+ mphs. Is this Quattro in action? I normally try to make it a habit of NOT letting Audi's pass me, but Iwas helpless last night. I also have DTC on my car (Dynamic Traction Control) which I attempted to use. Very strange. I felt more in control without it on. I must ask when is the appropriate time to use DTC and just so you know, when the streets dried up.....I SMOKED dem fools. I love my girl...just not in the rain.
