Oversteering and Understeering

Oversteering/Understeering

These terms may be a bit technical, but bear with us. It’s easy and important. When you take turns in both wet and dry conditions (but especially wet), you can easily lose control by oversteering or understeering. Learn what these problems are and how to beat them by watching the video below.

Note: A “cool” form of oversteering is called drifting. It’s a technique where the driver intentionally oversteers, but maintains control around a corner at high speeds. Drifting competitions are held around the world.

Lawyer’s Note: Michelin does not condone drifting—unless under the supervision of a professional and within a safe, controlled, professional course or environment.
