[DML] locking up Michelins (was: DeLo's In Year 'Round Use)

["Louie" <louie@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've got Michelin Pilots on my car with probably about about 10k 
miles on them. I locked up my front wheels earlier this week in an 
emergency stop on *DRY PAVEMENT*. I was behind one of Charlotte's 
many city busses approaching an intersection. They are so tall and 
the DeLorean is so short that I couldn't tell until after he had 
gotten part way through the intersection that the bus had run a red 
light. We've got tons of photo enforced lights in town so I slammed 
on my brakes as no one was behind me (I'm getting tired of the $50 
tickets!). I locked up my front brakes so hard that they sent out a 
good puff of smoke in front of the car (just like in BTTF *gags*). 
I've broken traction with my car in other circumstances too, but 
those were all me being stupid and I won't go into them lol.

Either you are driving like a wild man or there is something wrong 
with your brakes. I can hardly get my Pilots to break loose on wet 
roads - forget dry pavement.
