Hmmmm, DSC, my driving, is all ok?
So, decided to go for a blat last night to a really nice stretch of road close to where I live, very quiet, super smooth tarmac and 3 roundabouts with 3 nice twisties in between. The car is on Conti Sports which I know is not ideal but when the tyres still have 5mm tread left it seems silly to change them.
Flat in 1st DSC light going nuts. So I'm thinking that is probably acceptable due to being a little cold and never easy to get all the power down in the CSL in 1st. Also noticed that now and again doing it in 2nd. Anyway on favourite stretch, stuck M track mode on and went for a few runs. Quite a lot of wiggles and I'm thinking the car is maybe not gripping as well as my previous 2 CSLs. Then parked up next to 4-5 bikes who were doing the same as me, had a chat with them etc. then decided to do a couple more runs and then home. Forgot to stick M Track mode on and again, DSC going a bit nuts. I'm wondering whether it might just be the Contis or could it be something else. Diff was replaced less than a year ago. Could potentially be RTABS but not sure I can find out without sending it in under warranty and can't be arsed with all of that. Any thoughts chaps? I hope it really is as simple as crap tyres. Thanks for any advice.
