Ok I just went out tonight and gave the new tires a little test in the wet weather. It is really strange, but the rear end kicks out much easier now it seems. I was in a parking lot and I had the front end planted in one spot and the rear of the car spinning around in a circle, granted it was wet out and when I was doing it before it was dry. Ill have to try again when its dry, but the rear seems easier to break loose. Could the added width have helped balance out my understeer?

Also, I heard somewhere that tires dont give optimum traction untill you have about 500 break in miles on them. Is this true?

Haha... proper donuts. I've seen that one before, probably from here. But that reverse burnout hurts. Cars should never be driven in reverse at any high speeds. The gearing just isn't set for that on street cars. Stunt cars are different. Sorry dude, but that just sucks for the car and the G is just too nice a car to see it being treated that way.
