If you are driving with the spare tire on the rear and the OEM summer tires in 40°F weather during a heavy rain, this car will snap oversteer on you in turns. Who knew?

Also, a piddly little 3" lag bolt is enough to give this car a flat tire. Toughen it up Ford

Hell..it does that stock man lol. Of course it'll do it with a pizzacutter on the back!

No harm, no foul, I caught it right away, but I wasn't exactly hooning it when it stepped out.

Also, a tip for everybody, buy a set of mechanix gloves and leave them in with the spare tire. Believe me, that brake dust is hard to avoid. If you ever get a flat on your way to an appointment, interview, church, etc, it will help keep your hands from getting filthy.

So you were driving on 3 summer tires in weather a bit cold for summer rubber and a spare and then it was raining. And you were doing something even close to "hooning"? That's not a handling quirk that's a lapse in judgement. Grow up.

Whoa easy dude, all he said is that the summer tires snap oversteer in the cold, rainy weather. I think he was driving on four normal tires and not the spare

Might wanna re-read that.. he had a spare on the rear of his vehicle because he got a flat.

He was on 3 summers and a spare. And even if he wasn't if you induce snap oversteer you are pushing a little too hard which you shouldn't be on summer tires in the rain when it's 40F outside. You need to take it easy on summer rubber at 40F.

No hooning at all involved, that's why I was surprised. Between the weather and the spare, it was a worst case scenario. Take this as a cautionary tale.

Even more so be sure you take it as a cautionary tale
