I think the results may vary by tire, but with the RE-11's the steering is very precise. I was able to consistently win at our local auto-x events in the unlimited street tire class. With a softer sidewall tire I would have some concern of tire roll causing numbness, but it just hasn't happened with this tire. My tire guy hates them though, he always has a battle getting it onto the rim.
