This makes it easy to coax the car into oversteer with a flick of the steering wheel or abrupt throttle change (e.g. a Chris Harris-like drift), but still provide plenty of grip when the driver's inputs are slower. This behavior is bared out in the stock car's skidpad numbers which are remarkably high given the narrowness and compound of the OEM Primacys.
The stock car on more aggressive aftermarket tires of the same size loses this wiggly tendency. It feels more planted and less prone to oversteer without any suspension changes at all, even if the absolute skidpad numbers are barely changed.

OK, I get it. I can't drive for shit and the stock car is perfect. I'm not here to argue with anyone. I just wrote what I experienced. I don't need a bunch of guys asking if I know about the new TPS report cover sheets. I still have my stock parts, I'll put them back on and sell everything except the MPSSs.
