Holy fourth degree, Batman! I am not trying to compare tires. I am not trying to make a detailed review. I have no data showing vertical loads, G's or slippage. No testing equipment. I just made a simple observation based on how they felt.

I don't want to derail this thread for a lapping day with an analytical discussion of "slip angles" and such. That discussion is better suited for this thread: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=84188

I will edit my post and see my way out with one last bit on topic: I hope I am able to get my shit straight and join everyone at this event! Looks like a good time and DAMN do I love the DDT!
