Not really. One of my students last year had done a skidpad school on the OEM Primacies and says he spun like 50 times (OK maybe 20...)! He didn't want to turn off stability control at the track for fear of spinning on 215 RE71R tires. But the fact is the RE71R has a TON more grip while sliding than the OEM Primacies. So we at least got to run "track mode", though I think he would have been totally fine with the "5 second hold" on TC button or with the "pedal dance".
The car is way easier to control at and beyond the limit on good sticky tires than the OEM tires. Yes, you will be going faster when you start to slide, but the residual grip is SO much greater that control is easier to maintain.
