how well can g35c take curves at high speed?
well, i was driving on the highway and took a curve at about 80mph and my car detected slip and traction control kicked in. i dont think the curve was that bad because i've driven that highway almost everyday but don't always drive at 80mph. i did take that same curve going about the same speed with my 06 TSX before and the TSX didn't detect any slip nor did the traction control kicked in. currently i have the stock Michelin tires in front and brand new Yokohama all-season in the rears.

The problem might the the different compounds used on the tires. I've gone through some curves at 110 + and had no traction problems or slipping, I would say that the coupe takes curves like a champ, it's very forgiving.

Maybe the Yoks since they are all season don't have as good grip as the Michelin tires and that is what the car is detecting.

Good luck!

dont turn off VDC if your slipping on the highway you need VDC to save your ***. Its most probably the different treads on your front and rears messing with your traction

The curves are something the G could handle with no problems... The straights is another story.

I have RAS so the curves are FUN. No slipping at all.. Unless its raining season..

I wish i could show everyone the turns at my house...but i took them at 80mph with my stock suspension while not slipping. These are pretty sharp 45 degree s-turns.

+1 When you are driving & taking curves at high speeds you want the VDC on.

I think it might have a bit to do with the traction control systems of the 2 cars too.... The Acura system is incredibly nonintrusive on the TSX(my best friend used to have one for 2 years, and just recently traded it for an STI). Anytime I've driven that TSX or riden in it, the system will kick in if you have wheelspin, but it doesn't kill all the power.. it just seems to limit power. In our G35's, when wheelslip/spin is detected, the system seems to go heavily into the corrective action... meaning either killing almost all power to the drive wheels or heavily applying braking to certain wheels.

It's just something that really stood out to me in my experience with the TSX.

It was probably your all season tires. Are they new? An all season will never perform as well as a full time summer or winter tire. When you're running Michelins in the front and all seasons in the rear, the rears will probably break loose alot sooner than the front while inducing the slip. Personally, I will never use all seasons again.

Why? What about regular Michelin Pilot Sports? Which one is better?
