Something interesting about my tires.

So I have the BF Goodrich T/A KDW 2s in 205/45/r17s. Well I have been driving on them for about 3 months now and well I started taking some corners with the ASC off to see how it handles. The strange thing that I found is that it handles better with it off then it does with it on. I don't have sway bars or any other suspension mods. When ASC is on it has a tendency to slide a lil and the tires squeal pretty loudly. Hmmm I think its pretty cool.

I have those tires as well as they just like to squeal. It is also pretty noisy.

Keep them rotated regularly, so they don't increase in road noise.
