Is the Scooby suppose to slide around in the wet?

For example when going round the round about.

Can tyre pressure affect the handling (215/40/17 - Toyo's)

I can do nice power small slides, but dont want to push the car too much. Dont want the car to spin.

nose slide--- controllable, just come off the loud pedal, shift in weight and reduced speed usually makes her grip.
tail slide a bit more but a little opposite lock and don't bottle it off the throttle cos that makes it worse
4Wheel Drift--- The daddy just add more loud

Try the big ****** at the end of chipping sodbury high street. I think I hit full opposite lock last Saturday. muchos fun didn't quite expect to get the **** out as far as I did but I held it....just

and yes I'm on those sh1ty P-zero's, till next spring
