We will see. It’s on Michelin Primus tires, not sure if those are any good.

not sure.. assuming you mean primacys... never had them... i know they sold like hotcakes back when i still worked in a tire warehouse

but that may well be just because of brand familiarity

A 3, already made the rounds at Lagun Seca... I think the brakes proved to be underwhelming?

The real question is, did it drive like greased lightning?

The Primacys are low rolling resistance tires designed for economy above all else. Grip is not high.

You are right, Primacys. They protested a lot, but since that was the only sound the car made, it might not have been worse than others.

The results weren’t particularly fast. Could be driver, car, or tires. He said it understeered a lot, but that’s common for many cars at autocross without experimenting with setup.
