Because the backend is losing traction in trailing throttle oversteer (more so that power oversteer), the DSC is intervening, therefore, twitching. |

My car always feels twitchy on entry to high speed corners on the first application of steering input then settles.
It is a tad unnerving though, the PS4S have made it worse I'm not keen on the front end they give the car.

The reason trailing throttle oversteer is so dangerous is because it is an unnatural reflex for most drivers to have to accelerate to recover from an "out of control" situation.

After reading so many of the comments about "the rear feeling twitchy", maybe it is related to the fact that the F8X's rear subframe is solidly bolted to the body instead of being isolated with bushings, like on the vast majotity of cars. Because of this, the rear end communicates directly whatever it is doing with no damping effect. I actually very much like that trait of the F8X and makes it very enjoyable to drive on track.

I must not have been clear. I'm not getting oversteer. I'm getting understeer when you lift the throttle a little mid corner. The back end remains completely planted. It's the FRONT end that's losing grip. My reference to trailing throttle oversteer was merely to say that I've experienced that in the past on other cars, so wouldn't be surprised to see it show up. This is more like "trailing throttle understeer", which I don't think is a thing. Last edited by mm767cap; 06-30-2017 at 12:45 PM.. |

Interesting. Mine feels rock solid in the entry. And solid as long as I don't modulate the throttle. If I give it more throttle it feels solid and predictable. It's when I lift that things get weird. I haven't noticed much difference between the PSS and the PS4S so interesting to hear this is happening with your new tires

I've never experienced this type of understeer with my F80. I've experimented with various amount of throttle steering and breaking at different turning speeds. As long as the inputs are smooth, the car's behavior is predictable. If the balance is interrupted abruptly, it let you know instantly. |

That is a big reason I hate DSC (even Euro-MDM) at the track: because it prevents any type of throttle steer. When you do a quick lift to tuck the nose in, all you get is more push with the car going slower .

Either that or my car is buggered after 45k in 16 months.

The algorithm is not very intuitive on this car. It steps in way prematurely. There is an on-ramp that I like to take near me and the system in MDM mode will come in way early. If I turn everything off, I can get an extra 10mph in the corner and I am not even at the limits yet. That tells you just how ultra conservative it is.

It happened first about 500 yards after collecting my car from new as there is a perfect bend down the road from dealers. About 30 mph and slowing to a stop sign. It was wet. I got a professional alignment and it has made a big difference but I still think the diff was the biggest factor as it was sudden and unnatural. I haven't noticed it in a long time that it scares me but I'll keep a closer eye on it. |

But then again anyone choosing the PS4S will have made the same mistake as me.

Aren't these new Michelins getting incredible reviews, though? There's a big thread in the tire section and everybody seems to love them. Or were you specifically referring to the load rating on the 19" models only?
