An instructor finally explained oversteer (push) so that I could understand the "lift"...


The tires can do turning at 100% --- they can do braking at 100%.... but if you're asking the tires to turn and brake and you exceed 100% -- then you need to get off the brakes... or turn less (not usually a choice)... So in other words if the tires are using 90% of their grip to turn - then you can only add 10% braking. They need to SHARE that 100%.... Asking for more than that.. and something quits working.

Once I had that info in my head -- it became easier to share the tires grip.
