Default Results of 1.6mm tread tyres and wet roads..

This is my old jaguar which I lost it going around a roundabout going onto the exit after the back end stepped out! Rolled 4 times and trapped upside down! My escape route via the back window

Sorry to hear buddy, good thing you are good and well.


Does it mean Jags are not really good handling-wise. I have a BMW e34 and i think it drives like its on rails considering the roads in Ireland are windy and narrow. I can easily do 60mph-70mph but since i got Jag 3 weeks ago i have been taking it so easy more like 40-50mph after seeing vid above.

They are amazing in the dry but in the wet,a tiny bit of throttle on a slippy road surface then the back end will twitch. Traction control don't do much if I'm honest

Good to hear you got out uninjured.

And reassuring to see how strong a Jaguar bodyshell is when bounced on the roof.

Good to see that we are not adding you to a different section of the forum.

Looks like the airbags didn't deploy.

Glad to hear that you were relatively unhurt.
