My recollection is I saw a quote from (I think) Tada-san stating the Primacies were used to make the car more "fun" to drive. IOW because the car could more easily overpower them. If true, this suggests the decision on the primacies was based on the fact they are a lousy tire (wrt to traction).

Just offering a different perspective, but outright grip isn't the only measure of a tire's viability or effective purpose. |

I realize this is the Subaru post but whatever.
This story ad just came up in Instagram. Sadly it only opens to the @TOYOTA Instagram page but I usually get a lot of Toyota ads and this is the first I’ve seen with an 86... If Subaru really does plan to unveil the next gen BRZ “this fall” (in the next month maybe?) then I wonder if this is a teaser ad for Toyota unveiling the GR86 as well.

I think maybe they are just doing a play on that instead of saying, "Swipe to Learn More!" The ad agency probably has a generic template that gets slapped on everything, and this is one of them. It just so happens we are close to the reveal of the new car. |

Plus that tagline is odd specifically because when you do swipe up on it it just opens their IG profile. It's just weird. Could be bad marketing, too. But yeah causation != correlation so who knows.
