Another tire replacement candidate - Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position

I don't know what it is about the compound of the S-04 but I'm finally able to smoothly peel out from a standstill. Before with the RE050A and disappointing Hankook V12's, there would be horrible wheel hop like the car was breaking apart. Those tires were able to peel if I got them hot enough after some spirited driving on a hot summer day, but otherwise wheel hop for days.
Also, I don't know if it's a coincidence that the VLSD is giving out or the added grip of going 285mm with the S-04 is making it difficult to execute drifts now. I find myself spinning out more frequently and maintaining the drift requires a different amount of throttle.
