Might be just me, but my car's sitting on Maxxis' at the moment, never had an issue with them. I get the whole "these tyres stick to the rubber like glue thats why their worth $$$" argument, but seriously Maxxi's do that just fine too. When I plant it from a corner take off, yeah, I lose traction, but so did the potenza's I was paying $600 bucks a pop for, which is where I started losing the faith. Maybe if I was doing track work, then yes, I'd go for the expensive stuff, but in this day and age of double demerits and anti-hoon legislation, I'd be insane to even test the boundaries of grip and traction control on any tyre on a public street (despite my earlier admission of planting and losing traction)
So everyone who grabs the cheaper end of the tyre spectrum - I'm with you, and I'm a petrol head. Albeit, a responsible driving and sober one, for any police person who may be reading this.
