Re: 850R tire smoking V70-XC70 99

darn rite it will! it's obvious even with the windows up and stereo blasting such that you don't hear any screeching, but just watch your tacho - if you're accelerating say from 2500rpm and the needle suddenly jumps to 4-5000 rpm, you know your tires aren't gripping. for a fact they're spinning away furiously and leaving marks on the road!

i am VERY careful on wet roads, i never boost much cos it will really cos the tires just spin so easily.

saying that, turbo owners shd also exercise caution going up ramps on multi-story carparks. i used to "rush up" the office carpark in my old car and test the most mornings going to work. i tried that when i first got my T5, and when it boosted suddenly ... man, i almost lost it!
