Ive never driven a stock AP2 buuuuuuuut. I do like them, I notice that my car is a good bit faster than stock ones and I actually like the hum when I hit 30ish and up. Hit me up in my new members thread if you want more info I dont wanna go way off topic in this thread.

Anyways is it normal to lose grip kinda easy droping the clutch a little rough on summer tires?

I've never broken loose that way, but I'm also really careful with the clutch too. Some other folks will surely have a better perspective than I do. Stock clutch or aftermarket?

Stock, I did drop it hard. I was dead tired and it was five in the morning, some guy in an srt-4 was reving his engine at me. I never drag race people but I did that one time lol. I got about a car ahead of him dropped it in second and almost spun out. Leason learned.

EDIT: 4.57 gearing. Sorry typo

Which one is better?

1. Yokohama S drives
2. Yokohama AD07
3. Falken Azenis RT-615
4.AVS es 1oo's
5 Direzza Star Specs
Thanks, Alex
OMG that list shows such a wide range of tires that it's very easy to list them:

Best to worst:

1. Direzza Star Specs - enough has been said about this tire
2. Yokohama AD07 - good tire, but expensive. they're also outdated now. ad08s are the replacement
3. Falken Azenis RT-615 - grippy, but overheats easily and bad in the wet. There's no reason to buy this because there are other tires that grip as well without the drawbacks.
4. AVS es 1oo's - predecessor to ad07 I think. Can you still buy these?
5. Yokohama S drives - aren't these all seasons?!
