Years ago I was involved in an ESV European Safety Vehicle program, which, primarily, set out to investigate benefits of ABS. Part of the program was driving on an ice track with high snow walls, where obstacles could suddenly be presented.
Drivers were students from nearby University, with - at least - 3 years of driving experience.
About 90 % of drivers did just brake - without any attempt of steering. The rest made limited steering wheel movements - all crashed into foam obstacle.
The Elk Test is developed by Swedish Teknikens Värld, but has, to my mind, no bearing on real world crash avoidance. Only trained drivers e.g. professional rally drivers will do that kind of evasive manouver.
Never the less - X2 with those tyres, obviously, has understeering tendency.
