MPSC2's are not ideal street tires, not sure why so many folks would like them as standard equipment for a car that is not a track oriented car.

As expected it uses brake by wire, just imagine all the headaches people will have running more aggressive pads with different coefficient of friction as well as operating temperature characteristics.

Swapping to tires that have more grip or less grip than the standard continentals or optional MPSC2 will more than likely confuse the systems on board, can't expect Acura/Honda to test all the possible permutation of tires.

Probably not an issue for people who will be driving the car stock on the streets.

3800lbs is extremely heavy, just like the heavy R35 GT-R the car will probably understeer quite a bit.

Had zero interest in buying one and still have zero interest after the reviews, even a Type-R won't be that appealing unless they can bring the car down to 3000lbs. Losing 800lbs will be a long battle.
