I think you've interpreted it incorrectly, I thought about explaining more thoroughly but decided against it. Here's the long and short of it.

My intent is that you and OP appear to think you know better than Toyota's engineers, Subarus engineers, experienced and respected journalists, racing drivers, enthusiasts, tuning and aftermarket companies, and a huge chunk of trusted drivers education and training materials by blaming the tires for the behavior you experienced.

Yes it's possible to get the ass end out in a stock 86, I did it many times myself. The key there is "I did it", not the tires, not the road conditions, not the suspension design: me. The nut behind the wheel is in full control, placing blame elsewhere is dumb.

Sure the car can be improved, but to imply there's something dangerous or wrong with the car in stock form is foolishness imo.
