GTB- As I mentioned I went from having BF/TA's to the BB's which I could not get dialed in. Roadforce balancing several times, hand balancing while on the car, alignment, different air pressures but i could never get the vibrations at 35mph and 70mph to go away. The car would shake like I had a square tire. After about a year, those tires still had the little nubs on the tread because I just didn't like driving with them. When I switched and put the MT's on, the car was a completely different car. Nimble, quick response with the steering, no vibrations, great traction on acceleration. I have to put some effort in it to break loose. I cannot just step on the gas and break loose in a straight line. Looks very intimidating. Keep in mind my car has a healthy 390 with less than 400 rwhp and tq. As far as wet traction goes, I don't drive in the rain or wet streets but on occasion with sprinkler or rain runoff or damp foggy conditions I am extremely cautious as I would be with any tire and spirited driving but I have had no suprises like the BF TA's provided.
