I guess I would characterize most of them as snap rolls. It helped to slow down earlier into the corners but still got tippy at times. I had some other problems that limited my experimentation time on the track. The only change I made was the addition of the sway bars that seemed to help.
Thanx for the response. You never know until you try it. Might help on a M03. Other than "The Shadow", who knows?

The new S-Grips are a curious tire with many undesirable characteristics. I cannot think of any reason to use them except when forced to by TCS rules.
