I ran the T/A's on my Excalibur. As I ran Autocross with that car it didn't take long to figure out the T/A's were basically worthless on the track.

I switched to Yokohama Autocross DOT approved tires and it was night and day difference!!!!! The Yoko's had WAY more traction than the T/A's.

An unexpected result: I felt much more confident driving the car around town, highway, etc. With the additional traction I was more confident about controlling the car. The T/A's would break loose and spin in a heart beat compared to the Yoko's (16", by the way).
