You will get this on every corner you go round with those tyres 
I had one on the back and every time I went round a corner where the cars weight shifted onto that tyre the back end would spin out - its very scarey and causes your scoob to be no fun. IMHO these are the most dangerous tyres I've ever used in my driving history. Oversteer is all well an good but these things will break grip in a second with no warning.
I strongly suggest you replace them with F1's ASAP, before something worse happens.

Bought my scoob about a month ago with ZZ1s fitted all round.
Not really had too much of a problem - It's true they have broken away a few times and given me some chocolate starfish clentching moments but nothing I haven't got away with.
Perhaps it's a mis match problem or perhaps I'm just missing out on some real fun!!!?

My mate had these fitted to his scoob, not for long thou, changed em for Pirelli's in the end but these are not a tyre you want on your scoob, wet or dry.

I've just changed my Avon's for Toyo's (17's) and even though I'm only on 400 ish miles the difference is AMAZING!!! I've had my first drive in the wet the other day and I'd almost say the Toyo's have almost as much grip in the wet as the Avon's had in the semi-dry. If you think the Avon's are bad now, just wait till the cold and wet weather really kicks in, coz so will the fun
