Wow, new tires make a difference.

I went from some cheap-ass tire to a set of Falken azenis sports on my autocross car... the traction difference is mind blowing!
It feels like a completely new car. Turn-in is so sharp and crisp... traction is unbelieveable. I get scared before i lose grip!
Cheap too, at 280 for the set, mounted and balanced.
I might go for S03's next time around since I do live in seattle - azenis are rated 3/10 for wet traction.

Yeah, it feels like the car is riding higher. It might just be because I expect a big difference though. My old tires were very soft. I had to stop suddenly for a quick changing light and it left a big bald patch on them.

My tires cost eleventy billion dollars each and are made of solid gold.
