This is my second update on my tires. Have not had a chance to test them in rain yet. It was just a lil wet today.
Here is the good stuff. Now I dont have to slow down for ramps LOL. The ramp where I used to go 40 I can go 60+ (havent tried going faster than this, but I feel I could). With my old tires whenever I used to go into turn while breaking I would feel my ABS since one of the wheels would lock up. This amost does not happen now. I can go as fast as I wish slam on the breaks and then just turn the wheel. I can easily take a 90 degree turn at 40.
I tried slamming on the breaks to test the breaking performance and now I wish i had bigger break kit. I have brembo rotors and hawk pads, which are awesome and used to cause ABS to work. Now the tires are better than the breaks, and it's hard to lock up the wheels. When flooring off the line I dont get any spins anymore. Old tires used to spin when shifting into second.
Overall the tires are really great so far. I'll post more updates when I start driving more often.
