I noticed too much steering correction because I'm used to a little faster response. Those fun back road turns became more of a chore than joy. It may be I just need to adapt to a new type of tire. I can say this, when I would over correct, the car would turn that much harder without losing control. That would lead me to believe it's the driver. One more thing, high speed made me nervous. At 90+ the car feels like it's floating too much. BTW, I have a '01 M Roaster. There's already enough flex in the body, I need a tire that is stiffer on the turns. Bottom line is, when driving sensibly these tires are great. Trying any race like driving becomes a little scary. These are street tires not race tires, and according to the Nitto website these are as good as the NT05.
