So before today, I had never pushed my car in the corners too much because I never had an opportunity - I live in the midst of Copville. But this morning I took one of those circular exit ramps, with no one in front of me...and I nailed it. The first 5 seconds I had that lovely adrenaline rush, then it tightened up into near panic. My previous car, a ZX2, could NOT corner. It leaned like a pile of Jell-o and broke loose in the rear all the time. So this was possibly the fastest lean I had ever taken, at about 65. In the rain.

When I got to the bottom, slowed down and straightened out, I realized how much noise my tires had been making and how white-knuckled I was. Damn I love this car.

So a question - yeah these tires are fairly good for my kind of driving, but if anyone has put aftermarket tires on, which do you prefer? I drive her gently most of the time, but I like being able to corner hard.
