I'd agree if we're talking about going WOT out of a turn. But 30mph on light steady throttle on a sweeping turn... does that qualify as fast driving around town?

You will know for sure when you get the new tires and the resulting pain.
For what ever it's worth, my 7 year old rear tires were fairly easy to break loose just before I replaced all 4 tires this summer. They were not down to the wear bars yet. When they were new(er), I could hardly break them loose, scared me to try, not as brave as I was when I was younger.
