Tire experience - 2023 premium - win run p330

Hi all looking for a bit of a sanity check I have just purchased a used 2023 seal premium 15k miles- so far so good until yesterday driving between damp roads and heavy rain I found myself losing control of the rear At first I assumed it was because I needed to drive a bit smoother (still loving the novelty of punching it through corners!) and less aggressively but even as day progressed and I drove it conservatively I felt some pretty scary slips turning corners on main roads at very modest speeds. It appears the rear wheels have been fitted with brand new stock Winruns, (still have their new tire hairs!) but I’m trying to ascertain if this experience is something I need to be getting looked at a deeper level or is it aligned with broader experience and would be resolved with better tires?

The new tyres will be a bit slick till they're cleaned of the mould release, but that should happen in 50 or so kms. I'd say they may not be up to the task of the Premiums power output. Mines too has the stock contis, and you can go full send in the wet and between the tyre and traction control, no wheel spin (unless you chase after it by turning etc)

I have the stock Conti EcoContact6 and they’re pretty good even in the wet. It takes deliberately poor driving to even come close to breaking the back end loose.

Yeah interesting - I wonder if it is something mechanically or computationally wrong then because I was easing out of a left hand turn at 15-20kmh and the tail slipped right out from under me

In general, the tires you have on the back are "not very good" to say it in a polite way. It is a cheap brand, which shows in test results: > "The Winrun R330 has achieved mixed results in tests, particularly showing weak performance in wet conditions with longer braking distances and unsafe handling. In dry conditions, the handling is better, but the performance remains behind well-known competitors. For price-conscious drivers with low performance requirements, it can be an option, but it is generally not recommended due to its safety weaknesses." As others said, if a tire is brand new, you need a few kilometers until the "manufacuring layer" is driven off. This should definitely be the case after 100km. Therefore you have a few options: 1. Let everything as it is, and drive very careful. 2. Change the tires form front to back. --> at least you will not get oversteer. If understeer occurs, it is easier to handle. But still drive careful. 3. Buy some new quality tires and enjoy the full car performance.

It looks like you have cheap tyres that are no good https://youtu.be/yrP8GT4rO2k?si=vrRI3Lwpl9kr_Wyc
