Nice call on the Michelin PS2s

Not to stir up any trouble with the tire lovers around here, but I went for my first real life run through the twisties of Palomar Mountain with the new wheel and tire setup and the 275/35/18 Michelin PS2s handled very nicely on the front. The car has a WAY higher level of grip, and much less understeer on neutral throttle. It was actually well balanced when I was able to accelerate out of the curves, but not even close to the balance that my M3 had. The throttle was either on or off, which means i couldn't use it to "steer" the car like I did in the M3/911s. The route is pretty tight (many 15mph turns), so maybe I could have more fun on an open track.
The steering is much tighter now. I like it, but it makes me crave the MP design even more.
Last thing, I noticed more "dipping" on turn ins so i wonder if a sway bar upgrade is needed?
