i can verify this it happened on my car everytime i took a slow turn near lock and caused massive understeer when i tried to make a yellow once(i know for shame but no one was at the intersection so i said what the hell). I'm wondering if the front tires are doing it merely due to the awesome width on the things just like how the car dances on the highway because it can't drop into the groove.

Mine does it but only when I first start it in the cold weather. I noticed it twice when pulling out of a parking space. On a warm day, doesn't happen.

OH YES ! I HATE that road controlled BS. I was thinking it was just me due to a couple reasons such as my front is taller than the rear(pretty close if not) due to bad tires sizing and the front tires being a larger diameter tire than the rear. Thought maybe that was the reason for that road shxt. So the real reason is what then ?

Also could it be the LSD causing this ? Because I don't have one and I haven't noticed this issue.
