Default SO-3s break traction much better!

So I decide to see what my baby's got today (as if thats a first), and whip her around a really nice back-road turn. I was thinking that since I whent to 245, 275 tires, the car would understeer more ect, but I got the oposite. OK, while it may not understeer less, the tire break their traction much more smoothly than the stock tires do. Before, the tires would rumble, become un-easy, and be very stuck between gripping and sliding...now the SO-3s break with much more confidence, and they seem to do it higher up in the g-forces. This makes driving near the limit much more fun, as the limit is higher, and much more predictable. Anyone considering suspension mods NEEDS to get some new tires on thier car.

can you still chirp 2nd or 3rd gear with the 275's? Also did you install the tire pressure sensors in the new 19's?
