The rears would spin *ridiculously* easily and when they did the car went dead sideways (no residual sliding grip). It took me a while to convince myself because of how good those tires initially were and not being that old or anywhere near the treadwear indicators, but replacing the tires 100% fixed it.
I bought my tires last Christmas...fairly new about 3-4k miles. 1 track day, and all daily and mountain. I am not gonna change until end of this Christmas or
3-5 tracks days cus budget wise lol =[
I am going to try re-71 or rs 3 next time. Thanks for sharing~
