Now
255/40ZR-17 Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 XL for rear, 10 months old

So I been using these same tires for the last 10+ years.
This is the first time, from the first few months until now the rears are slipping on many turns that I know from before they held oh so well.

This is a review of the evo2, seems nothing there to say this is worse than the evo?

So did I just get a bad QC dud this time? No surprise considering these are some of the cheapest "performance" tires out there... but then again the original evo I had no problem with for the price, the lateral G were to my satisfaction, unlike these, I almost feel unsafe.

Pressure... I have tried these at 28lbs to 42 lbs... they all feel the same pretty much as far as traction. I still think its the rears only, the evo2.

Any experience of the like? Should literally try adjusting the pressure like 3lbs at at time down from 42 to like 31?

Thanks
