Because I'm getting faster, I'm getting more feedback from the tires. Usually the back moving a bit because I'm getting on the throttle sooner and a lil bit harder. I can feel it get a little lose. But good tires are good because they actually give you feedback (most times) and you can adjust. The few times I felt my front slide were pretty scary. Last time it happened was on 5/17 in the same corner my POTM was (100mph+). I felt it slide out 3 times during one corner at the same time. It was most likely due to me weighting the bars too much. Scared the shit outta me, but my tires held enough for me to recover. It took me all day to correct it and find the right line.

This may be true to some people and false to some people. Not everybody feels the same about the same tire.
