VDC kicking in with new rear tires

Despite what a few others here will say...they are cheap tires and reflect that in there handling, road manners and yes they do have a very soft sidewall which will cause your car to lean left to right and vice versa when cornering more than it was designed to do.

Its a bit like the winter tires i have on mine now, the car never leaned side to side or felt like it was going to loose traction when i had the stock summer Potenzas on it but with the deeper tread pattern and softer sidewalls well....its made me long for the day i can put the re-11's i have bought for it on.

Look, if you buy a sports car put good quality tires on it. Quit trying to save a couple dollars on an essential part of the car which provides safety and performance for so little. I am so sick of hearing people ask and say they want to use regular octane gas to try and save 2 fudging dollars per fill up or 200-300 on a set of tires. If you wanted to do that you should have bought a Mustang or a Camaro not a sports car!
