Hi Snidy (sp)? Sorry
Well I am am still learning this site and read before you get about 20K on your AVS I. I live about 6 hour north, but have alot of exper. with sticky tires on street and road courses. be for our loved AVS I used to run Yoko 008r on my 67 super and a 87 Honda CRX si but thay got fazed out so off to AVS I had to go. The 008s lasted me aabout 3 to4 Thousand and the avs i s lasted about 7 to 8 thousand miles, Here is what may of also happened to your car going off so soon; If the tire has a lot of hard runs (Hot tire temps) and is parked then again The tire gets harder and then sides differantly. and if I got 8 thousand on the tire in less than a year its still pritty good, But if it took me over a year to maybe 2 years the tire was not up to par, it was a real bear to do full 4 wheel drifts and feel totaly confident, untell extramly warmed up.
Thats what i live about AVS I a new set (shaved or not) is always better than an old set.
So if thay had a lot of temp changes and were 2 years old that (Iam sure) helped your car get unsetled. A old racer buddie form the ealy 80s went out on the track with us some time ago and thought with his new old stock 008s were going to be fast. Well his 2000 cc GTV could not even come close to my lap times in a 1300cc alfa with AVS i and almost slid out after 1 turn thinking that it would be easy to keep up with my street car. so use em up or slow down, but old tires for us is unsafe as you have felt. Thas what I think
Cheers
peter
