[QUOTE="Breitling, post: 14786701, member: 160749"] So I finally got to test out the new tires yesterday. A few facts: 1) 58* air temp 2) Sunny and dry conditions 3) 35 PSI in all tires Executive summary: Night and day difference in terms of grip as compared to the stock Goodyears. More commentary: Overall, the grip exceeded my expectations. After proper warm up of the engine, I did a few first gear rolling into the throttle tests and was shocked at how well these tires grip in straight line acceleration. I can only imagine how these will grip in the summer with hot pavement and warmer temperatures. Yes, you can break them loose if you want to, but it takes a hell of a lot more throttle to do so than the Goodyears. The obvious downside is that you can't take corners with the same aggressiveness as you could with the Goodyears. However, I did take a couple spirited curves and the car felt planted and ready for more. A few 'side-to-side' motions with the steering wheel did produce the wobbly/squishy rear end feel that was not present with the stiff sidewalls of the GYs. I think these tires are going to be perfect for me and the way I like to drive the car. Any questions, just ask. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
