I cant understand how tyre will grip so much that it will flip your car.......only hitting something sideways will do that on track or overcompensating on trying to correct a skid.....or digging into a sand trap at proper tracks.

We had same argument when that vid got posted up a few months ago of that jap car rolling.

If you go into any corner too quick regardless of tyre you are gonna get into trouble.

I've never heard of anyone rolling a car due to running sticky tyres

have a agree with craig on this cant see sticky tryes makeing u roll if u get into trouble only way u roll is hitting something as he said or doin some thing stupid like using the curbs on a track and braking .....

I have thought at it and the physic's as well as my own view on this disagree,

The thing i can liken it to most is lets say int he context of sticky race tyres and road tyres both being used on a flat surface race track??

Now if you take a square piece of wood and put it on a shiney surface, and lets say the wood is shiney also, therefore giving the friction between race track and tyre the similarity of a road tyre (as compared to a sticky race tyre)

If you give the block of wood a shove what happens?? it will slide along the surface and wont stick or roll over

Now if you add a thin layer of golden syrup to the underside of the wooden block thus creating the extra friction caused by a sticky race tyre on a race surface and go to push it along the shiney wooden surface, 9 times out of ten it wont slide of all but it will roll or flip over.

you see where im going with this??

The chances of this on a race track being the core reason for a roll is absolutely minimal because you have to factor in speed, weight of vehicle, body roll, g-force generated, negative camber and surface etc etc..

My point being is the theory in itself is correct, but highly unlikely
