My rear end always kicks out....even taking a turn at 15-25 mph! It's very scary...I thought fc's were meant for grip. What am I doing wrong? Am I adding to much gas as I take the turn? Also my tires are very very bald...I did the penny test to check tread and it tells me my tires are illegal and dangerous...
