On dry pavement, it behaves like it's wet pavement. (Except maybe on really coarse concrete. I'm talking blacktop, the majority of the roads around here.)
Today a hot little Mustang decided to drag-race me from a stoplight, on blacktop, so I joined the fun. :2thumbs: But I immediately started fishtailing with no traction, and he surged ahead, TEMPORARILY. Of course, when my tire finally grabbed some ass(phalt), I smoked his buns for him. :yes:
But still... I'm looking for better traction on my next CAR tire selection. :dontknow:
