Replaced A-Spec Wheels/Tires with OEMs

I had to put the original wheel / tire combo back on my TL yesterday because of an imminent snow storm. It's the first time I have driven my car without the A-Spec wheels and PS2s on them since my first test drive 2 years ago before purchasing the car.

All I can say is wow, I can't believe what a difference the A-Spec setup makes on handling. I took a corner at a speed my car normally would have turned on rails and it nearly sheared the tires off my wheels. I have to really baby this thing now, but on the good side the car is less jittery on rough roads.

I think you are giving a little more credit to the wheels than they deserve.

I am sure most of what you felt is that the PS2's are very good tires and the stock tires suck!

It definitely has a lot to do with the tires. I really think it's the larger wheels that allow the lower profile PS2s to do their thing - it's a combo of the two.
