parthiban or will go with the OEM Pirelli P Zeros for the 18" wheels (as there must be a reason Lexus chose them to be the OEM tyre)Not sure about that logic, given that Lexus also chose the (crappy) OEM geometry ! :laugh:

Lol, fair point :laugh:
And as well as the SP Sport 9000s which were very good tyres, they also picked the Bridgestones as the other OEM tyre which also wasn't a great choice......

Was Supercharged Racing Green IS200 Sport. Now APR Stage 1 Seat Leon Cupra (220 Bhp).
my falken 452 are gripping fine. You are driving way too hard to make the back end kick out every corner on them seeing as both me and Woz use them on our charged cars. Or otherwise there is something wrong with the car. Obviously I can get the back out a little if i really push it but Its not sliding all over the place all the time.

I've never had a problem until now with rear end grip, have you got a spare wheel in the boot? When I took mine out for a bit it did feel a little light, but otherwise it's always been really well planted.
