Physics denied?
So I live in Minnesota, just the other night it started raining really bad. The temp dropped and it started snowing like crazy, now I'm in my 98 A4 1.8T quattro 5 speed, with snow tires...I'm going like 45 on the freeway and I can feel via the steering wheel the car is pivoting on it's center of gravity sort of like none of the tires had a reasonable amount of traction...
So all of a sudden a super tiny ancient BMW that's rear wheel drive with TINY shitty tires came baring past me at about 60 cutting through the snow like it nothing, my head hurts...someone help me out here?

Are your tires worn?
I had a set of tires before that worn on the inside from bad camber and I had similar feeling like you described during a bad rain storm. When I got home I got under the car and noticed that the insides of my tires (the actual part touching the roads) were shot. But obviously from the outside it looked like I had brand new tires.
Just a thought

Agreed, but much more pronounced in bad weather where traction is significantly reduced.
