Question handling after new rear tires

Two weeks ago I replaced the rear stock tires with the S3 Pole position. There seems to be alot more body roll around corners. Anybody else experienced this?

If your rear end is hooking up better, you can corner faster, and you will get more body roll.

The S03 sidewall construction is better than the RE040s (and the T1S), but it is heavier.

Are you sure it's the body roll? It might be the thread flexing since you have a lot thicker thread than your old tires now. I felt that too after a new set of the same brand/model tires.

If you make quick lane changes on the freeway does the car sway back and forth a little instead of sticking? I replaced my backs with yok 100s and have the same problem. Could it be the difference in the two types of tires (front and back)?

it is definately body roll. it feels unstable cornering and changing lanes at high speeds. Sands, that was my thinking....having different tires on front and back. Can someone suggest a set of springs to use for a daily driver staying with the oem 18 wheels and the S03s. Just want to tighten it up a bit.
