Great vids, thanks for sharing? What tires were you running? They were screaming for mercy hehe.
Your stability control was shut off it seems?

Finally switched over to Pirelli slicks this year. 325/705-18’s & 305/645-18’s.
Should have done it a few years ago!
I run in track mode, but often feel it intervening, so I will try it fully off the next time I run.

Hmmm, you feel the traction control intervening? You really shouldn’t except when jumping tall curbs etc.
If you aren’t buying scrubs and are buying new, these are the sizes you want to run for the Pirelli’s
325-650-18 front
325-705-18 rear

Mostly under hard braking/corner entry.
The 325 you mentioned for the front is a little wider, but taller. I don’t have the adjustable ride height to offset..

That’s very weird, I’ve never felt anything like that. So you mean stability control is kicking in? Traction control wouldn’t kick in under braking.
The 325 is only 5mm taller, so less than 1/4 inch, negligible. But the handling difference is night and day, no more understeer. I currently run the 320 front Yokohama which is really a 343mm tire and I LOVE them.

Wow pucker factor for sure.. What caused the slide in vid 2 – hooking the curbing upsetting the rear suspension on turn in?

I had my left rear on the painted curb and it had started sprinkling. They’re like ice when wet. Silly mistake.

Correct, stability control. I’m going to try the 325 fronts. Even with my current 325/305 set up, a lot of the understeer is gone.
