Very disappointed with the so4

How many miles do you have on the S04's? If they are new it takes some wear on them as well. Also, they are not a tire I would recommend

How many miles do you have on the S04's? If they are new it takes some wear on them as well. Also, they are not a tire I would recommend for drag racing. There are much better, but if you are looking for performance running canyon and such they will hold their own with PSS's and the alike. In a straight line any real performance tire will need a decent amount of heat in them to perform. I ran S04's while being boosted and they worked just fine!!!

2000 miles isn't broken in? 50 miles most it takes. I didn't take it to drag racing, yet. It was on the street after driven a long time to warm up on i95. Read my post...

I highly doubt the so4 didn't spin out at WOT with boost. Any non China made tires can pull without slipping while the car already moving in high speed. Note that I didn't complain about carving corners but traction during WOT while stopped, AFTER driven for a long time to warm up. The all season A/S 3 performed MUCH better in similar circumstances
