How the hell do you loose the back end? I only managed that on a beach, with the traction control off and the gearbox in sport mode
+1 - I have the P Zeros R01 PNCS in 20" (275/35 20) and I drive my car fairly hard at times and it has 830+ Nm torque and 370HP and I have never ever had an issue with the back or the front losing grip. In the wet they instil confidence (something Contis and Dunlops never did). I have been through 2 sets now and never had cracking or uneven wear issues. I'm tempted to stick to these and they have the noise cancelling foam inside too so nice and quiet. You must be driving like a maniac to get the back end of an S8 to break loose in the dry.....
