Yes. The stock all-season tires. Not the Michelin Primacy, the Bridgestone Turanza. They are dangerously traction-light. I basically break the back end of the car free every time I tap the gas, without even trying. I can do a full traction-break spin while sitting still without revving the engine before engaging the clutch. I'd call it a burnout, but they are too slick to actually smoke, it just kinda spins and hops. lol. Can prolly grab a set of 4 for 300 bucks, that's how much I've seen people selling them for.

Bear in mind, that I'm in Virginia Beach, where it's been in the 90s, and they still refuse to grip the road. I won't even drive if it start to rain, as I've lost traction taking turns under 25mph if the roads are even a little wet. When I finally manage to get new wheels, I intend to keep these slick bastards for private lot drifting.

I used lexani lx sevens that seriously felt like I was on ice everywhere I went. Loved them. But they make a hell of a squeal. But for $55/pop u can't beat it
