i'm going to explain your faulty logic very carefully. hopefully you understand where you have gone wrong.

what this means is that before you switched tires, you had literally no idea what was going wrong. you had no idea what was causing the issues you were having. so you took a stab in the dark and put on new tires. did that fix the problem? you have no idea because you still can't answer what the problem with your handling was. only that replacing the tires made the problem go away. was it grip level? was it tire profile? was it rubber age? carcass strength? the point is you can't answer what was wrong with your tires. only that "they weren't good enough" for what you were trying to do to them.

you need more training. and so does the OP.

You like to talk out your...
