And I took my Z out for a spin since I've gots me a 5 day weekend, starting yesterday

One thing I noticed...LOTS LESS traction!

I managed to trigger the squiggely light at 55 / downshift, and the car bucked a bit sideways! (and that's with VDC on!)

I have to say these tires are definately "summer" tires. I can also tell that there's still a good amount of camber with my rear wheels, since the tires were warmer the more you move towards the center of the vehicle...

With the number of flat long roads there are in Oklahoma - I weonder if I could set the camber to 0.0 deg? I think mine are at 1.2deg - whatever is "within spec"..
