Yea, & repeat it to your self when you are on the line waiting! Yes, my friends & I will race anything, & we have over & over, & over!!!

I've never been a fan of any Michelins, especially for the price. My last cab was on Azenis for quite some time and was sticking OK when they were new. I'm thinking of trying Hankook R-S3s as the next street set.

The PS2's are a good street tire, that's what they are, but a bit over priced. I really liked how smooth & quiet they are. They worked well in the cold/wet/snow.

I was going to get the R-S3's. They look fast & a good value. What stopped me was, they SUCK, I mean SUCK in the cold & rain. They need to be hot to get the best stick. So do a duel driver & you should be good to go on the 2 run. They also wear fast, & I can NOT ask tell the Wife we need new rear tires more then once a year.

As far as pic 1, it's interesting. I'm obviously going right. Witness the loaded rear left tire and the head turned to where the car is supposed to be going. Of course the car slides its *** out to the left so quick countersteer input is needed. It was interesting for me to see that the head is still turned the right way. Generally, I don't think I look far enough ahead. Oh, the cones are wider as this point so the photog decided to make a tight shot of the car's back only. At least that's the crop I got.

I think you are looking ahead, you are looking out the passenger window. No tire smoke, so not the best slide. My co-driver has got my C4 in a AWD drift show a few times, with good smoke. I gave him such a hard time about eating my tires up he has only come out once this year.
