And that obv is likely due to running factory 0w-20 for multiple track days. I'd imagine that oil had sheared down to who knows what viscosity.

But I also wondered this as there has to be quite a few people running much higher grip than SX2's. Also, is it confirmed that this issue doesn't exist on the first gen? I know it's a different pickup design...
Haven't seen an issue ever on the first gen on race tires on the banking of Auto Club or Daytona. (Both Left handed banked turns for extended periods of time 120-140mph)

Also no issue at Auto Club on 200TW tires in the 2nd gen.
