2) these tires ain't got no grip. Maybe I got a weak set, or they need more
miles on them, but I find I have to be more careful with the throttle than
I was with my previous tires. Very easy to break loose from a stop, and
do not hold in the corners as well.
3) There is a definit feeling that the rims are shifting over the sidewalls
during cornering. Inflation is proper.
I would rate these tires as good for those who drive drive around town or
are not as agressive in the corners. They will do me fine driving back and
forth to work until I'm ready for the next set, but I do think I'll have to be
a bit easier in my driving to make these last much more than a year. The
way it feels now, the rears will need replacing in 6 months. They just spin
so darn easily.

I have had the opposite experience from you. I have about 1800 miles on them including the Dragon. These tires were super!!! I can say that I don't drive in the rain at all so I can't judge them wet. I was super excited about how well these tires handled the Dragon. I went so fast with no tire squeal & no breaking free that I actually scared myself a little. US129 took a great pic of the back of my car where the inside rear tire is lifting a little going into a 90 degree hard turn with no brakes. My favorite pic of my car - period!!
Maybe the tires just need to warm up a little more for you or maybe they are too warm & getting greasy.
