QuoteOpps!QuoteRWD isn't dangerous, just acts differently to FWD when the driven wheels lose traction.
Not making any comment on your driving and/or experience with RWD - just fair to say that many people now only have experience with FWD, hence the 'RWD is dangerous' comments people state.
You are correct, poor tyres won't help - but if you have come from FWD cars, you'll still have some new skills to find
As said, not meant as any comment about your driving experience - for all I know, you could be the worlds best driver
Not at all the world best driver but yes have came from FWD car, Then a BMW that was RWD and now the MV6 but yeah new skills needed ASAP lol!!! the new skills being body work!!!
Metal can be whacked back with a hammer. Skin and bones can't
Back to your issue, my old tractor used to sometimes 'snap out' a bit quicker than expected in very heavy rain if I was accelerating. The tyres were great in dry and rain, just not brilliant in very heavy rain. And the power delivery was a bit harsh due to the chip, so I can relate to how quickly an Omega can step out. That said, its probably then best RWD for feedback I've driven.
Does sound like tyres are your issue, but worth checking for any wear in rear suspension, or borken rear springs (common Omega fault) which could add an element of unpredictability
Ok will have a look into it!! thanks a million for all your help!!!
