Will doing donuts on pavement cause rollovers?

Geez that scares the hell out of me - I think I'll give the old Lexus ES300 to my 16 year old instead. Any idea how fast it was going?

Ah, the only Strip I care about, in Vegas.

As for the 4Runner, any vehicle with a high center of gravity, can roll fairly easily. Hence the warnings in the truck itself, and the Owner's Manual.

If people miss the part about washing the underside in the winter and then demand a recall after 15 years of neglect, there is no doubt people miss that warning and then go after Toyota for building an "unstable vehicle".

I think I have the same tires as you, I hope they weren't the cause of your rollover.

Something like this might liquefy the tires enough to keep you safe?

I think I got the answer I was looking for...

They seem pretty stable to me, the bagel on the other hand...

Wilfred Brimley just called me. He said after looking at those donuts — my blood sugar rolled-over 200.
