Flame away, but I don't understand the complaints about the Primacy HPs for public roads. They have plenty of grip for normal driving, and they're a blast for hooning. I especially look forward to driving in the wet because this car is so fun and predictable.

If you're doing timed events, then yes grippier tires are a good idea. But the stock tires were an absolute hoot at Limerock's wet/dry autox track. So much sideways
If I actually didn't like my stockers, they'd be gone. I think they're fun as hell. They definitely aren't newbie-friendly though :P

Neither the fronts nor the rears are grippy at all in the rain. I have found that the fronts tend to lose traction fairly easily and instead of getting the tail out, you tend to just hydroplane into the nearest cone or barrier or whatever is in front of you. Depending on how you use the weight of the car and throttle, you can get it to do different things, obviously.

Regardless, the stock tires are pretty rubbish for everything except hooliganism.

Actually, they are pretty alright off-road... But that's a different story...

Dont know about the frs but thats y the brz feels better with all nannys off, you slide through the turn smoothly nstead squiggling back in line.
