Forceum Octa 205/45R17XL 88W Tire

I bought this tire on a budget while replacing a set of low-profile tires. This tire offers similar levels of straight line performance to those tires, and it provides a surprising amount of feedback into the steering wheel. Quick corrections (swerves), like when avoiding a small animal in the road, are slow to react and gave me a bit of a wiggle out of the rear when the car was settling afterward. That being said, the sidewalls are very soft and it's very noticeable with those quick steering inputs. It surprisingly did not lose grip under heavy acceleration or when I tried a panic-stop. It's a great tire on a budget for city driving, but it isn't the best option for twisty mountain roads. I prefer tires that can handle a track day or two, but these tires are a great option for typical day-to-day driving needs.
