Before...........

Driving an 81 shortbed Chevy 4x2 and running on a freeway about 45mph, light rain, down under an overpass and hit some choppy asphalt, rear swings wide left, over-correct and swing wide right, lock up all four just before hitting the left guardrail head on, smile and think "I am still alive" seconds before getting t-boned by a 80's LTD going about 35 mph. Girlfriend's aunt knocked the passenger glass out of the door.

or..........

Running about 60 down a state highway in a 78 Toyota 4x2, heavy rain, hit a bump and back end swings wide left, over-correct, wide right, two more times and go into the bar ditch, back end clips a phone pole and come to rest in 4' of water, girlfriend pissed.

Both incidents over 20 years ago, 5-10 mph slower may have prevented the loss of traction but I replace tires sooner rather than later now.
