Right now they aren't confidence inspiring. When they let go they really let go now... Have you experienced this before with them? Makes me nervous to drive at any kind of limit.

My tuner wants me to test out some ecutek stability control thing so maybe I'll give that a whirl.
My experience is the grip level falls off after a lot of heat cycling. I've lost about a 1-1.5 seconds off my lap time while I'm still pushing as hard as I'm able. I suppose if you are starting to overdrive 'em trying to make up the time/feel that you lost it would feel like they let go quicker.

I'm almost never in favor of driving with any kind stability control on. IMHO, every off, spin, slide, etc. is a learning experience and traction control ultimately stunts your growth as a driver. You never learn how to correct if the computer is constantly correcting for you.
