Can you be a little more specific?

Virtually all rubber road tires have maxium amount of "traction" (or grip, or "stick" if you'd like) available when they're turning at a rate slightly higher or lower than road speed depending on which axis they're being asked to accelerate the car upon (slow it down or speed it up). Similarly, the most grip when turning is available when the tires are pointed in a direction slightly different than the path which they're actually following (by 2-7 degrees, depending on tire compund temperatures, weight/road speed, etc.).
