And I guess that no one cares.
Anyway, I'm up to 69,120 miles, so here's my 51 mile performance oriented review revision.
Performance: 1am. No cars, no traffic, no kids playing, no blue lights, no smokey bears. The tires handled very well; better than my old Ecsta's would have. The road I took is one that I have driven quite hard recently, but it's too long to be able to memorize particular sections yet. I wasn't able to go wide open through most parts, as I couldn't remember what was around the bend. I tended to go harder around right hand turns, so I'd have the other lane as a run off, just in case. Remember, this is 1am and any cars on the road, I'd be able to see thier lights from quite a distance through the trees. I was no where near the limits of the tires on the top of the mountain. Coming down in a whole 'nuther story! I came down on a road that is nothing but hairpins. There are a few linked sections, I was able to top at ~75mph, but the average speed would be ~25-30. In the hairpins, I was able to find the limits of the tires, and get some nice sound, too. Right hand hairpin turn, I would break about the same as usual, but I would inch into the turn at first and then cut the wheel sharply to swing the car. The tires handled predictably the few times I did this. They have a very nice sound when they let go, too. I only did this a few times, all of which led me to a very high traction level. It took a lot to make them let go. I really had to try to break them loose. It took a lot of effort to overload the outside tires so they'd let go. Depending on my speed and the angle/pitch of the road, sometimes it was the front tires, sometimes the back; so yes I got the 'Tour to drift.
The final test is my favorite on ramp by the mall, which I hope to do a couple times tomorrow. Coming from the main drag through town onto the bisecting freeway. There's a nice bend off the main road, then a decent straight (about 100m) before another kink at the top of a hill. When you crest that hill (~70mph), you can look back under the bridge to check for traffic. Eyes ahead, after the crest of the hill, there's another quick straight (top about 80-85mph) into the last turn. That turn has a third kink in it. The thing about this last kink is right after it, the pavement changes from rough concrete to smooth fresh asphalt. The pavement changes after the kink, so when you pull the wheel slightly to adjust for the kink, the overload happens right as the pavement changes and the back wheels come right out. I have left a couple distint marks on that patch of road. I rarely have need to use that ramp, but somehow I use it all the time.
