    Oh yea, should be some night and day difference. I have read a ton of reviews, the best being,

    "The short version: these things must be made of pixie dust, rainbows and unicorn farts, because BFG somehow combined the magical properties of velcro-like grip, the durability of iron, and a complete disregard of ambient temperatures, into a tire that communicates telepathically and recovers from over-the-limit excursions without any fuss."

    Yeah.... The Hankooks are not ideal. /my bad
    These were my 3 set of K110 V12s. This is the first instance where they have failed me. Live and learn.

    Finally got the Rivals on the car tonight and took them out for a run to scrub all the sticker glue off.

    Wow do these things grip extremely well. After getting a little heat into them they really stick to the road well. Easily put more confidence into tight corners.

    Plus the over all goal of having a stiffer sidewall and bring able to run them at 32psi make a world of difference compared to the Hankook I had at 50psi. Ill have to wait until the weekend to go give them a real test, but I have to say I am excited to drive the car again.

    I am happy for you, I am sad for me. I want to drive a z =( . Maybe I'll try those next year with the subaru for some auto x/street action. Did a starved rock run and the ru was drifting corners rally style.
