Let me start off with i didnt know where to post this cuz i dont know what went wrong with my car and I also did not try to do the following. and i do not think driving like this should be condoned if intentional!

so i had just gotten done with my morning workout and was driving home. I took a left turn like I normally do with a bit of speed but nothing outrageous. Just wanted to make the light. Next thing I know my car is whipping around and I ended up doing a 270. (3/4th of a whole turn) im sitting there thinking "just dont let me hit a car or a curb" but it came out really smoothly. I sit there for a second and im like what just happened so then i get myself facing towards the way i wanted to go and then took off towards home. now my question is:


Is it my rear tires? My front ones are new so maybe the rear are just not following with the car? i dont know. At that moment I wasnt scared but afterwards i was like OH CRAP how did i do that and why did it happen and thank god i didnt hit anyone, any car, or any curbs!

can someone please tell me whats causing my car to lose control? besides the driver.. cuz like i said ive taken this corner and others at the speed i was doing and its only been lately that i feel the car is losing control mid turns. I guess it just wants to be a RWD car and go drifting :-) aww i wish!

so please dont flame me for what i did. it wasnt intentional and the speed was really not excessive though it probably was a factor that played a role in todays event.
