Plus super sticky tires require stiffer springs/dampers.A great way to star learning car contrl is NOT getting a sticky set of Hoosiers right from the get go. Go with decent street tires and learn car control first. When you have lap times that match or beat similar cars on your tracks. head over to semis or a hotter street tire. Its a shame to go straight to slicks before you can control the car well. Things happen so much faster when you have sticky rubber!
Good stuff. I will be "sticking" to Michelin 4PS 305s or 315s for another round of tires...then maybe going to Yoks...she is still my daily after all, only so much I can take on the street (makes me sound like a wimp, but I am just old souled and cautious to go too far too quick.)A great way to star learning car control is NOT getting a sticky set of Hoosiers right from the get go.

I would caution against the Falkens at this point in time. There have been many cases (especially in wider sizes) of delamination. Falken does not give any refunds and blames it entirely on driving style, vehicle setup, etc.I would consider Falken RT 660s or Bridgestone RE71RSs instead of the PS4Ss , as they will not wear quite as well as the Michelins, but they both will wear at a slower rate I than a set of Yokes ---- those wear quickly!
Ask DaveW how well the Bridgestones wear compared to YoMamas --- he has been killing it with the RE71RSs.
