i run 245/45/16 front and rear and the car is very neutral. go too fast into a turn and you CAN understeer depending on the balance of the car (and type of turn). go fast and mash the gas and of course, oversteer.

i just think its funny when people talk as if they are the drift king and as if they are going to drive "drift" on the streets. i mean, anyone who drives balls out on the canyon will understand that balance and grip are most importnat, and that specs dont always equate. so, the driver has to be in-tune with the car and know how to control their vehicle. ive raced plenty of cars that LOOK cool but hey, how cool do they look when they're in my rear view mirror. drifting isnt so cool when the person just got their ass handed to them.
