I actually am against the tires. If I lived in a world free of cops and other drivers then I would love it. But I have seen somebody do this in a Corvette at low speeds and got busted. I much prefer to go around a corner more neutral and precise.

you live in a world that the gas pedal is not an on/off switch and you can go around a corner on stock tires with out having the rear slide.. if your following the posted speed limits and not being aggressive with the throttle and driving it sanely on public roads then there is nothing wrong with these tires.. i can probably bet my car that the driver of the corvette wasn't driving properly on a public road

The car featured right before the GT86 review needs to be watched also because it's the perfect segue-way/intro to the GT86 sequence.
