Manufacture date?

Oversteer is better than understeer because you don't see the tree you're hitting.

One tire was made on the 49th week of 2010, while the other three were made on the 50th week of the same year. I took delivery of the tires sometime in May of 2012, with the track day occurring towards the end of that month. Since then, the tires have been garaged, and were unmounted two weeks ago.

No prob. I was tempted given the new RT treadwear rule, but they're 10 mm less wide than what I'm using now. Those things ought to keep you on the road in a prius no matter what maneuvers you try

It's not a Prius Sean's driving - he's got an FR-S, which comes with Prius tires.

If you ever want some instruction, I'd love to try out an FRS...assuming I'd fit
