My max corner entry speed was much lower than I had anticipated, maybe due to the soft sidewalls of the PSS.


Bottom line is, with a 245 square setup you can still drift lol.
Good to know, thanks! I was planning to switch to the same size from 225/45-17 after the car turned a little too playful with JRSC. I can't put as much power as I want on the road especially at the corners. But I can't do any larger than 245 with my 8" wide wheels. I'll see.
