Torque steer + single skinny?

[Mr.Rauq]

I was driving to Aiken this past Saturday on US 8 in the middle of nowhere when I came across a beater EG hatch spewing smoke on every shift... with a huge intercooler. Ridiculous turbo sound, completely stripped interior, gauges everywhere, backwards hat baller at the wheel. AND..... a donut on the front left (iirc, maybe the right?). The front end was all over the place when he got on it, showing off for me (and no I didn't bite...) and I chatted with him when we pulled up to a red light. He turned off towards Ware Shoals, to go to the 1/8th I guess? I asked what the skinny was for and he said it helped with torque steer.

A skinny helping with torque steer? Does that even work? Maybe it was just his street solution and he had slicks for the strip... Someone help me out here my mind is blown.

He is pulling your chain... whatever handling problems he had, they got worse.

The only time skinnier tires would help with torque steer would be if you put them on the rear and played with alignment. That has been done successfully... the rears help stabilize in straights and the fronts pull the rears through turns... skinny tires allow the rear end to rotate through. That is what I'm doing with the Bezerkely this winter... It will handle kind of like this...

yea sounds like he knew too much.

[Mr.Rauq]

I mean my obvious first conclusion was that he'd gotten a flat somewhere and was riding the donut but he sure seemed to be getting on it hard for having a donut... Plus wrong wheel drive is a totally foreign concept to me so I figured I might as well ask, that's a pretty easy topic to pull the wool over my eyes.

He probably thinks that it will help, but has no clue what hes talking about.
