Ouch! that hurts just looking at it. I don't think your accident was the fault of the tires only, although they do suck. Stock these cars have some nasty understeer (at least mine did). After I lowered mine (just springs) I didn't get the camber bolt kit so the car has some negative camber up front. It corners much better now.

I know the tires are going to wear out really soon like this. As soon as I get some money I'm doing a proper suspension setup, then it should really handle well.
