Paraphrasing Bob Bondurant, "The skidding wheel wants to lead". In other words, if your suspension and your brakes are adjusted properly, the car will stay straight when the front tires are skidding. This SHOULD be the case with the narrow front tires that we run.

If the rear tires lock up, they also want to lead. That's when things get nasty. A friend of mine found that out one time when, at 150 mph, he found out how well 2 piston rear calipers work.
