Sure did. As hard as it would go. On parking lots I did lots of try
(and error ;-)) things. On gravel and on snow as well as on dry
tarmac.

I never had the problem that on my front driven A6 the rear broke out.

But I often had the problem that the car would understeer.

So, what are you guys doing differently?

Maybe I change tires too early to see that. Mine go when they are down
to 2 mm for summer and less then 3 to 4 on winter tires.

Maybe I'm also OT as this is a quattro thread.
