I was on 1999 vintage Kumhos, and was loose (fun) but (mostly) controllable
everywhere. Last time I was there the car was very pushy. Oh, wait, that was
the Honda... Nevermind! OTOH, I spun the Honda there last time, my first (I
think) for that car, and spun the Firebird (that's the "mostly" part... see
below) for the first time ever yesterday.
