Mine did that as well. They were pretty decent on the race track, but I went through those tires like candy. Always at the edges.

Go to the place Mike Kojima recommends. I cannot remember who it is, but I do know it's in the SE-R list archives.

I'm looking for ultimate traction in putting all that DET horsepower to the ground, along with decent treadware and road noise.

Well, I like the Yokohama Paradas that I switched to. I had A520s on my SE-R and
really liked them. I'll probably put another set on my SE-R when I get it back on the road. They are noisy though.
