It's like a fricking cat on velcro-- you have to be deep into "stupidly fast for public roads" territory before you begin to reach the limits of traction,
There is a very strong point of view on this car that putting on overly sticky/big tires takes a lot of the fun in street driving that all the reviewers rave about. The classic Jeremy Clarkson "drifting while reading a book at 30mph". While having the car planted 100% grip all the time, super speed, race car, is fun on the track, it makes it so you never get close to the edge of grip on the street unless you start doing overly silly thing. reaching the limit of traction easily is part of what makes the car such a fun DD.
