I've been watching numerous video reviews etc. and many times people say one factor is the narrow, not so grippy tires.
I feel Ive just made a huge mistake and bought 245-40-17s for my new 17x8 rims. I know they will fit, that's NOT my issue. My issue is: I don't want to change the nature of my car.
Has anyone regretted buying grippier tires?
Can anyone recommend a Michelin Primacy replacement? (Prius tires) |
You won't change the characteristics of the car with a larger set of stickier tires. WHat you will do, is amplify the characteristics, whether good or bad, when you're at the limit.
An understeery car will understeer more. An oversteery car will oversteer more. It'll become more difficult (impossible?) to power-oversteer.
