edit again: I see your in canada? Isn't it cold up there? These are summer tires and if you are below 60 F then they start to be really crappy. It could be the temperature right now. I ran them when it was 30F and holy crap it was bad. Thats the reason why you don't use summer tires in the cold!
I guess you don't drive as hard as I do. :P haven't had an issue when flooring it, my main beef is when taking hard or swooping corners i feel the car slide a little then slotted back in place via stability control. Something I never got with the RFT.

Your temperature thing got me thinking, but that's not really a factor, it was 80F yesterday, same issue with traction...

Ill see how much longer I can deal with this...
