I choose these tires because I mainly drive the Atom on the local streets here in Bavaria/Germany (there is no race track nearby) and wanted to have a product which does not take too long to heat up (like Toyo 888 and others). I do not have proper tools to measure the lateral acceleration but if I compare the feeling which I have in my Porsche 981 Spyder I always think the Atom isn´t quicker as a VW Golf.
Hope I could describe my "problem" clearly and I´m very interested in your thoughts!
Daniel
