Correct, and the Primacy tires were no accident. The engineers wanted tires that were easier to break traction and drift with. They clearly went with more fun factor versus less grip. In multiple tests conducted by multiple third party sources, just swapping out the tires resulted in better lap times, better figure 8 times, better lateral acceleration, etc.

If someone is looking for better grip, they need only switch the tires.
