They don't let go - the compound has plenty of bite - but the chassis rolls around a lot. A less rigid feel than on a harder compound. Less feedback in terms of connection with the asphalt.
That is EXACTLY what I am trying to describe!
It looks like everyone is correct in one way or another. These tires have upset the handling, how much of it is the compound and how much is the front/rear ride height bias is not determined.

I guess I need to look for a different type of tire. When I bought these I did not know they were drag radials - a friend of mine told me that when he saw them on the car (he uses the exact same tires on his 1000hp Corvette). His car is never driven hard in a corner so he had no info for me on the problem I was having, all he said was "you ain't gonna break THOSE loose".
SO, what tire do you guys recommend?
