Since my accident with my GT4, I've been a little scared of driving faster that 60mph on the highway and taking sharp corners...How much can this car handle in corners without losing control?
I also drive a Mazdaspeed protege as daily car and I take sharp corners no problem, it's really only with the GT4 that I am scared... |

Those Firestones are pretty average compared to RE001's, I'm not arguing a GT4 is close to a FWD Celica but I just think 50kph faster through a slow corner is a bit exaggerated, although saying that I do know that going to a good slick or even RE001's after having complete **** tyres, 20-30kph through a corner faster is not exaggerated, dunno much about those firestones though. Also a stock gt4 would have stiffer springs/anti-roll bars than an SS-II out of factory?
And you all aren't wrong there, RE001 are great tyres for the road and even track if needed be, not quite as good as RE050 but still good. But thechildofthesea just make sure you get some better tyres next time, research them and if you want something really great, aim for a semi-slick, I remember being confused at the higher rate of speed I could can carry through a corner after I got a set of KUHMO KU36's, but they do wear at a ridiculous rate  .
