Fishtailing on a dig?

[bl4ckwingv]

Is anyone having issues with their blackwing fishtailing a bit when launching?

From what I have read it seems to do better in Tour from a dog as firmer settings of the suspension don't allow as much squat over the rear wheels.

If you're launching, in ny, in this weather, its not surprising the tires can't hook.

When I got my car in September while temps were still warm, traction was only an issue when I got into the PTM settings and dialed back the nanny controls. As soon as the temps got below 50, there is noticeable (but not bad) tire slip even in anything but Tour and Wet/Snow modes. In the 30-40 degree temps, I find that anything above half throttle is going to induce some degree of tire slip even in Tour and Wet/Snow. Though the nanny controls reel you back in pretty quickly.

yea, here in the NYC area, we are at around 13degrees F today. Been under 30 quite a bit this month.

BTW @bl4ckwingv, assume you are aware of this but just in case. The stock BW tires are made up of a compound where driving on them in 20 degrees or colder temps could cause cracking of the sidewalls. If anything, an FYI for others in cold climates who may have not read the the owners manual of the Winter Tire thread:

Winter Wheels and Tires

Maybe @Mirza Grebovic can answer this question, but is there going to be a preferred/recommended winter tire for the Blackwings? I've been happy with the Pirelli Sottozero 3's in the past, and I've read good things about the Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4's, but if there's a specific pairing that's...
