I think those speeding cars like what u mentioned are fiddling with luck... once your tyre lose grip, I dun think any ESC or stability can save u...
On the other hand, those who drives slow and careful.. I don't think they need ESC...
Sometimes, as they say, cars with full safety feature die faster exactly because drivers feel invincible because of the load of safety features and this theory has its logic...
Often times, I see those Audis taking corners on wet road "like nothing" and I fear for their lives...
Not really like that.
My tyres are 235mm. Normal cars is about 165mm. Mine already 50% wider than normal tyres.
Difference is a lot, especially cornering. I can drive close to double of speed limit on highway exits turn(like damansara). Let's say 50kmh speed limit, I can go 90kmh even 100 without skidding in dry conditions.
Why wide tyres matters ?? Like our weather have heavy rainfall and easily cause aquaplaning.
If drive normal car if hit water puddle on right side, will feel steering pulling to right. But with wide tyres and ESC, the car won't run. Can drive with one hand.
I've tested many times to trigger skid, but the ESC light never came out (maybe haven't push hard enough but already double of speed limit during corner d)
Actually I felt that a lot of ppl don't know the limits of their car. That makes them dangerous.
Like some SUV turn turtle, or some car don't have ESC skid into drain in corner......
