It seems to cause the VDC to come on easier too. I like them for the street, I just don't think they are a good candidate for the track. When the budget allows it, I'd like to have a set of sticky track wheels and tires and run S04's on the street. They are a great tire for the money. Just my 2 cents.

im not taking about the tread. i am also talking about the sidewall.
RE050A's have kind of a brittle feeling sidewall like an over inflated
tire vs the S04. is that wat you're talking about?
anyway i would check psi...and are you running 265/305 on
those narrow stock 19's? that's much too wide. you cant just wrap
some wide tires expecting you will get improved performance.
you're also running swift springs, spacer, etc. which can also mess with
your VDC if your car is not setup correctly.
try the S04 vs RE050A on a stock ride.
