A change of tyres will help your handling. I prefer Avons, but I also suggest you try a TrueTrack handling kit. That will cure the problem at source and then you can really get the best out of a change of tyres!

im in need of a new rear too and thinking of trying this - DUNLOP D205 170/60ZR17 Sport/Touring or maybe Michelin Macadam 50, 160/70-17
Ive run 2 k591s and Im not overly impressed with them - less than 8k each time no burnouts- I wouldnt mind trying a metz but jesus theyre expensive - what kind of mileage are guys getting on them?

I'll be replacing mine soon, and I'm going with the Metzler 880s. I found the pair for $239 shipped online.

wow I did not expect this much feed back. I have been thinking that I might have another underlying issue that is causing my *** end to wander. But then again I have alot of grooved freeways around me which might be causing my Dunlops to wander also. I am not a fan of the price of the metzlers but hey they are tires and very important for safety.
